A motorized deblistering dispenser (1) comprises one or more modular dispensing platforms (2) each adapted to deblister and dispense items from a particular configuration of blister pack (21). Each platform (2) has a dispensing channel (16, 17, 18) that connects with the channel or channels (16, 17, 18) of the other platforms (2) when more than one platform (2) is used to form a common delivery channel for deblistered items. A programmable control unit (3) is also provided and adapted to control operation of the dispensing platforms (2) whereby the dispenser (1) dispenses one or more items from one or more platforms (2) at predetermined times. Preferably, the dispenser (1) is for patient use but will be set up by a health professional with an appropriate number of platforms (2) each of which will be stocked with the different blister packs appropriate to a particular patient's requirements. A deblistering device for use in the motorized deblistering dispenser is also disclosed. |
