ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system for exchanging medication blister strips that includes a reusable dispensing frame that holds a plurality of reusable blister strip cartridges. A medicine filled blister strip having individually sealed spaced blisters is dropped down onto each blister strip cartridge base when a locking arm is in an open position and then is locked thereto when the locking arm is moved into a closed position, the locking arm including an open hold down frame for each individual blister, through which the blister is visually exposed, thereby locating the blister strip in operative assembly with the cartridge. The cartridge also includes a pillbox with an identification card having information indicia, the card being attachable to the top. The information indicia is readable through slots in the top, floor, and dispensing frame floor, and from beneath the dispensing frame floor when the cartridge is functionally engaged with the dispensing frame.
