  • Publication number: 20250073129
    Abstract: A lid for inactivating or otherwise deterring use of a medication in a medication container is disclosed. The lid has a body that is configured to be secured to the medication container. A receptacle has a deterrent composition therein. A sharp object is movable from a first position that is spaced from the receptacle to a second position in which the sharp object punctures the receptacle. A controller is operable to: initiate a timer having a set duration; and cause the sharp object to move from the first position to the second position upon expiration of the set duration of the timer. A compression assembly applies a pressure to the receptacle so that, when the sharp object moves from the first position to the second position to puncture the receptacle, the compression assembly facilitates flow of the deterrent composition from the receptacle.
