Patent number: 11077026Abstract: This invention relates to a lockable, tamper resistant medication dispenser for medications with abuse potential and for monitoring medication compliance. The medication dispenser is programmed to dispense a specified dose of medication at a specified interval. The medication chamber of the dispenser is filled by the pharmacist and locked before being dispensed to the patient. This prevents direct access to the medication by the patient. The medication is dispensed to the patient dissolved in a large volume of liquid to prevent intravenous and intranasal abuse and diversion. The medication dispenser is equipped with biometric access control to prevent diversion. It can be equipped with a self destruct mechanism when tampered with and have the ability to record video of the actual ingestion of the medication infused liquid by the patient for subsequent analysis.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Inventor: Amanpreet Sandhu
