ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus designed to facilitate the dispensing and inventory control of medications is provided, preferably in the form of a book (16) containing a plurality of transparent bags (10-14). Each of the bags (10-14) holds one or more multiple-dosage cards (32-36) including a plurlaity of transparent, frangible, single dosage form-holding compartments (38). Each bag is moreover provided with medication and dosage form information (25), preferably along a side marginal edge thereof. A record sheet (52) is also provided which includes reference markings (54) for each of the medications and dosage forms contained within a respective bag (10-14), along with spaces (56) for noting periodic usage of each dosage form of each different medication. Periodic inventory control is accomplished by counting the individual dosage forms of each medication through the outer transparent bags (10-14) and the compartments (38), and correlating the counted number of each dosage form of each medication with the inventory control record 52.
