Abstract: The present system for tracking the dispensing of medications using an apparatus for monitoring the location and use of Medication Containers in the dispensing of medications contained therein, makes use of one or more Location Determining Devices, each affixed to a corresponding Medication Container, for determining a present location of the Medication Container to which it is affixed and a Control Module, in wireless communication with the Location Determining Devices, for identifying both the determined present location of the Medication Container to which it is affixed as well as operation of the Medication Container.
