ABSTRACT:
A calculated medicine dose dispensing apparatus includes a medicine bottle and a calculated dose medicine dispenser specific to the medicine bottle and a particular medicine. The medicine bottle has a neck and a bottle cap installed on the neck. The dose dispenser includes a cup in the shape of a truncated cone with a large diameter open end and an end wall closing the small diameter end. The end wall has a circular indent defined by an indent sidewall. The dose cup fits on the bottle cap with the large open end facing down and the bottle cap frictionally installed in the cup indent. A dial assembly is installed on the dose cup on the exterior of the end wall. The dial assembly calculates the proper dose of the medicine for the patient according to a patient parameter such as weight. The dial assembly includes a dial and a data disc. The data disc is installed on the dose cup end wall and carries at least two information sets that are circularly arranged, spaced apart information bits. Each information bit of one set is functionally related to an information bit of the other set, such as patient weight to medicine dose. The dial includes a dial plate installed over the data disc. The dial plate has one sight window corresponding to each information set. Rotation of the dial plate over the data disc displays functionally related information bits in the sight windows.
