Abstract

The present disclosure provides a handheld medication dispensing device. The device includes a housing containing a cartridge carrier, designed with a specific connector to align with a medication cartridge. The device also includes an authentication mechanism that works in conjunction with an activator mechanism. When operated, the activator mechanism causes the cartridge carrier to move the medication cartridge between a stored position and a dispensing position, where it can be compressed to safely and efficiently dispense medication to a user.
