Abstract
The device for dispensing medication for migraine treatment may comprise a medication applicator, an activator, and a safety interlock. The medication applicator may store a medication and may dispense the medication as an aerosol mist. The medication applicator may be adapted to dispense the medication through a nostril of a user directed at a sphenopalatine ganglion. The activator may be operable to release the medication in two doses—a first dose may be dispensed upon the activation of a first button and a second dose may be dispensed upon the activation of a second button. The safety interlock may prevent premature dispensing of the medication and may constrain dispensing such that the first dose must be dispensed before the second dose. The invention may be adapted for the user to self-administer the medication while the user is upright.
