ABSTRACT:
A medication carrier for administering individual doses of therapeutic products to a patient, in a non-sequential fashion. The medication carrier comprises a receptacle which stores individually sealed, unit dose packages in random order, allowing each unit dose package to be easily accessed and released in response to automated or manual extraction. The medication carrier includes an array of stalls and retaining means for securing the sealed unit dose packages within the stalls until a scheduled dosing time. The unit dose packages are oriented such that identifiers imprinted thereon can be easily read without removing the packages from the carrier.
