Abstract
Drug storage and dispensing devices for dispensing a drug dosage form to a patient are disclosed. A cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a pusher. The cartridge housing defines a channel within which multiple tablets are disposed. The cartridge housing is configured to be removably coupled to a tablet dispensing device. A first portion of the pusher is disposed outside of the channel. A second portion of the pusher is movably disposed within the channel, and is configured to exert a force on the plurality of tablets to convey a first tablet from the channel into the tablet delivery device when the force is exerted on the first portion of the pusher.
