ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a cassette-type dispenser for use in the dispensing of drugs contained in strip packages. The cassette-type dispenser is filled periodically by a pharmacy to contain a particular type medication for a patient. The medication is sufficient for a pre-determined period of time such as a 1-month supply. Additional cassette-type dispensers may be used for other types of medication for the same patient. The cassette dispenser is color coded to indicate the time intervals at which the medication is given to the patient. All of the medications for the cassette-type dispensers are located in a portable cart, along with various medications similarly dispensed for other patients. The portable cart is designed for use in facilities such as hospitals or nursing homes with all of the prescription-type drugs being contained under lock and key, and all of the control drugs being contained under double lock and key. Other shelves on the portable cart contain liquid medication, ointments, injectable type of drugs or other typical items needed while dispensing medication. By using the cassette-type dispensers in conjunction with the portable cart, an attendant may easily dispense all of the required drugs for each patient in a facility such as a nursing home.
