Abstract: A medication packaging and dispensing system is provided. The system may include a plurality of medication booklets containing medication and a tray that is configured to retain the medication booklets. Each medication booklet may include a sequential tab assembly of pull tabs that aligns with a plurality of front cutouts and a plurality of back cutouts. This alignment configuration facilitates dispensing the medication from the medication booklet. The tray may include a riser that extends from a bottom wall of the tray at an oblique angle, and a first guide panel including a plurality of linear stops. The oblique angle may correspond to a pitch of the first guide panel. The riser and the plurality of linear stops may cooperate to maintain the medication booklets in a staggered configuration that is substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the tray. The system may further include a container for retaining the tray.

Abstract: A pill dispenser includes a case body including a first compartment having a loading slot and a second compartment including a dispensing slot. The dispenser includes a cartridge configured to contain one or more pills and configured to align with the loading slot. The second compartment is adjacent to the first compartment. The dispenser further includes an actuator including a loading chamber. The actuator is joined to the case body proximate a first end of the case body and is rotatable about the case body from a loading position to a dispensing position. At the loading position, the loading chamber is aligned with the loading slot to receive a pill from the first compartment. At the dispensing position, the loading chamber is aligned with the dispensing slot to dispense the pill through the second compartment. A cap is removably coupled to a second end of the case body and is aligned with the second compartment and configured to receive the pill from the second compartment..
