Abstract: A device for deterring drug abuse includes a housing configured to contain a drug accessible through an access port. The device includes a physical deterrent configured to move from an unsecured position, wherein the access port of the housing is normally accessible, to a secure position, wherein the access port of the housing is normally inaccessible. The device further includes a locking mechanism that is coupled with the physical deterrent. The locking mechanism has a locked mode, wherein the physical deterrent does not normally move from the secure position to the unsecured position. The locking mechanism is further coupled with a deterrent container having a deterrent substance. The device is configured such that attempts to access the drug when the physical deterrent is in the secure position, and when the locking mechanism is in the locked mode, activate the release of the deterrent substance to the drug.

Abstract: A device houses a lyophilized drug that is to be reconstituted and administered to a patient that has a disease. The device has a transparent cylinder that has a volume of at least 250 mL and that is configured to house the lyophilized drug. The cylinder has a first end that has a first spike, and the first end is opposite a second end that has a port. The first spike is configured to pierce an IV fluid bag and to form a fluid connection between the cylinder and the IV fluid bag. The port is configured to be pierced by a second spike that is part of a tubing, thereby forming a fluid connection between the cylinder and the tubing. At least a portion of the volume of the cylinder is occupied by at least 5 grams of the lyophilized drug.
