<p>The oral medication delivery device (10) provides patient access to medications prescribed to be available on an as-needed basis, but with a minimum time intervals between doses. The required time interval between drug accessibility is programmed into the device (10) when the medication tray (16) carrying the multiple doses in plural compartments (20) is loaded into the device (10). The controller (30)allows access to a single dose of the medication after each minimum time interval has elapsed. When the drug dose is removed from the device (10), the medication tray (16) locks until the next minimum time interval has elapsed.</p> |
