  • Patent number: 12268656
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a medication dispensing system comprised of a medication dispensing device and a keyed and associated medication cartridge. The device includes a housing containing a cartridge carrier, designed with a specific connector to align with the medication cartridge. The device also includes an authentication mechanism that works in conjunction with an activator mechanism. When operated, the activator mechanism causes the cartridge carrier to move the medication cartridge between a stored position and a dispensing position, where it can be compressed to safely and efficiently dispense medication to a user.
