Abstract
The medication delivery device is designed to receive a replaceable medication container and to determine an adjusted medication dose AD before each delivery of the medication contained in the medication container if the current content of the medication container is not a multiple of a prescribed dose D and is greater than the prescribed dose D. The adjusted medication dose AD is the dose to be delivered instead of the prescribed dose D during said medication delivery. The adjusted medication dose AD is determined by selecting one of a first dose, to that is higher than the prescribed dose D, and of a second dose, that is lower than the prescribed dose D, as a function of a variable B that cumulates the values (AD−D).
