MEDICAMENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND AUTOMATIC DISPENSER FOR SUCH SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a pharmacy system for prescribing and delivering medicaments to a patient. The system comprises at least one input unit with which a doctor is capable of entering inter alia a prescription of a medicament for a patient, together with the patient's identity into the system. The input unit then generates a prescription signal corresponding to the prescription entered. A pharmacy computer coupled to the input unit further processes the prescription signal received from the input unit and generates a control signal corresponding to the prescription. Under the supply of the control signal generated by the pharmacy computer, an automatic dispenser dispenses the described medicament to the patient.
