A secure liquid drug dispenser for delivering pre-determined doses of medication for oral administration, comprising an airtight container (1 ) pressurised thanks to a micro pump (28) defining a pressurised area (10) in which a flexible bag (13) containing the drug to deliver is attached, said flexible bag (13) being connected to a valve (20) located within a second non pressurized area (21 ) of the container for delivering doses of drug trough a delivery port (23). A microcontroller within the pressurized area (21 ) controls the opening of the valve for precise delivery of drug doses and monitors the pressure within the pressurised area (21 ). The drug dispenser is further equipped with a neutralisation subsystem (16) for inactivating the medication contained in the flexible bag (13) and biometrics means are provided to identify the patient. A method of delivering doses of liquid medication is also disclosed. |
