  • Publication number: 20240087708
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an online system for patient control of a medical prescription. In one example, a method is provided for transmitting a prescription to a first pharmacy in response to a patient selecting the first pharmacy for a first fill of the prescription. The method may further include transmitting the prescription to a second pharmacy in response to the patient selecting the second pharmacy, different than the first pharmacy, for a second fill of the prescription.

  • Patent number: 10138110
    Abstract: A system for mixing and dispensing solution, such as a cleaning solution, includes a body with a first flow passage extending between a diluent inlet and an outlet, and a second flow passage extending between a concentrate inlet and the first flow passage. The system further includes a container for concentrate, with a container including a container valve. Moving the body axially toward the container to seat the body on the container opens the container valve for a flow of concentrate from the container to the first flow passage via the second flow passage. Further, moving the body axially away from the container to unseat the body from the container closes the container valve to the flow of concentrate.
