ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for receiving and dispensing oral solid drugs from prior art a blister pack singulates and dispenses oral solid drugs. The dispenser for the blister pack includes a cylindrical cage defining at least one recess for keying to one or more of the blisters of the blister pack, the cage having a sufficient cylindrical dimension to permit the blister pack to be wrapped around the cage in a cylindrical disposition. A cylindrical dispenser container having a cylindrical inside dimension sufficient to receive the outside cylindrical diameter of the blister pack as disposed over the cage receives the cage and wrapped blister pack. This cylindrical container defines through the cylindrical side wall a dispensing window having a dimension sufficient to permit an oral solid drug dispensed from the blister pack to pass through the dispensing window. A rotational rachet successively registers to the dispensing window discrete blisters from the blister pack. An internal lever overlying the dispensing window is actuated by a cam rod for depressing the blisters overlying the dispensing window for causing oral solid drugs within a blister overlying the dispensing window to be dispensed from the blister through the dispensing window. The cam rod, connected to a supporting base for the cylindrical container, allow dispensing to occur by depressing the container toward the base of the unit. Additionally, provision is made for registering successive rows of the blister pack to the elevation of the dispensing window so that the rows of the blister pack can be successively dispensed.
