A medicine grinder has a grinding assembly having a ring burr and a frustoconical burr being mutually rotatable relative to each other. The ring burr is tubular. The frustoconical burr is disposed within the ring burr and has multiple rough grinding edges, multiple recesses, and a non-grinding portion. The multiple rough grinding edges surround a center of the frustoconical burr. Each one of the grinding edges spirally extends about the center of the frustoconical burr. The multiple recesses are divided by the multiple rough grinding edges. One of the multiple recesses has a capacity being larger than a capacity of each one of the other recesses to define a non-grinding portion. Therefore, multiple receiving spaces are formed between the frustoconical burr and the ring burr.

A stackable medication crushing container including a first medication container. The medication container includes a first set of indicia on a side of the medication container that depicts a measurement in milliliters. A second set of indicia is disposed on a side of the medication container that depicts a measurement in teaspoons and tablespoons. The medication container has a narrower base and a wider top opened section that will allow the container to be stackable. Further, the container includes a lid that creates a seal around the top opening. A crushing insert can be added to the bottom of a second container to allow medication to be crushed within the medication container.

A pill pulverizing kit is a system that contains, processes, and subsequently dispenses pills and similar hard medications. The system includes a tubular receptacle, a crushed-pill repository, and a plurality of pill-processing devices. The tubular receptacle is a container utilized as the primary housing for pills both before and after pulverizing, as well as the housing for the components involved in crushing and consumption. The crushed-pill repository is a curved indent that collects and contains crushed pill material until the user is prepared to consume or serve the pill powder. The plurality of pill-processing devices relates to a series of removable additions to the tubular receptacle that provide various functions, including pill pulverization and content dispensing and consumption. The plurality of pill-processing devices includes a lid for consumption, as well as an impact driving mechanism that generates power and force for pulverizing pills.

A medication management system, having a pill dispensing system having: a funnel having an open bottom end; a tube holder; a tube having: a hollow interior; means for securing the tube to the tube holder, such that a rotational movement of the tube holder causes a same rotational movement of the tube; a pill receiving hole facing upwards when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, and providing access to the hollow interior; wherein the open bottom end is aligned with the pill receiving hole when the pill dispensing system is not actuated, such that the pill receiving hole is configured to receive a pill, the pill dropping from the funnel into and housed within the hollow interior; and means for causing the rotational movement, such that the pill receiving hole faces downwards and thus dispenses the pill housed within the hollow interior out of the pill dispensing system.

A pliers having an upper jaw supporting a cutting blade chamber near the tip of the pliers and fixed crushing protrusions closer to a pivot of the pliers. The cutting blade chamber includes a depressed basin with a slot for receiving and retaining a releasable cutting blade. The arcuate concave cutting edge of the blade is aligned to a pill-holding cavity in the lower jaw of the pliers such that, when the pliers are manually closed, the blade cuts an installed pill in half. The fixed crushing protrusions are mounted on a convex semi-cylindrical shell, and are aligned to pill holding cavities in a concave semi-cylindrical crushing basin in the lower jaw of the pliers such that, when the pliers are manually closed, pills in the cavities are crushed.

Medication administrations and adherence systems and related methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, a medicine administration system includes a case having a drawer that defines compartments for holding medication. The system also includes a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device includes a housing configured to attach to the case. Further, the mobile computing device includes a user interface. The mobile computing device includes one or more processors and memory configured to determine contents of each of the compartments. Further, the processor(s) and memory is configured to manage adherence to a prescription based on the contents The processor(s) and memory are also configured to control the user interface to present information to a user about adhering to the prescription and information about location of prescribed medication in the compartments.

A system, device and method to assist users with taking their prescription medications, vitamins, insulin (alert only) and over the counter drugs are disclosed herein. The present invention assists the user with (including but not limited to): organizing their pills, taking their medication on time, taking the proper dosage of medication, providing warnings to avoid multiple/duplicative dosages, provide reminders to the user to take their medication on time, or remind them if they forgot to take their medication, and provide information regarding side effects of the medication and alert the user to dangers/risks of taking conflicting medications. The device preferably dispenses medication automatically based on pre-defined scripts and algorithms.

The invention relates to a device (1) for packaging at least one unit dose of medicaments in a divided solid pharmaceutical dosage form forming at least one cell for storing and dispensing such a unit dose, each cell comprising: a dish (11) delimiting a volume (15) for storing such a unit dose; a cover (12) adapted to close the storage volume; a partition (13) adapted to be able to extend into the storage volume of the dish and to delimit a plurality of compartments (20) therein for keeping the medicaments of the unit dose separate from one another, characterised in that the partition (13) extending into the dish (11) is able to be removed from the dish (11). The invention also relates to a packaging method, to a device for storing and dispensing such medicaments and to a method for dispensing such medicaments to a patient.

A capsule cutter device having a pliers-type design with two handles which open and close about a cylindrical pin is implemented to manipulate a head to crush pills, capsules, tablets, and the like. In typical implementations, the capsule cutter device may be comprised of metal such as steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, etc. The handles of the capsule cutter device may include an overlay material, such as rubber, to increase a user's comfort and grip during use. The pin about which the handles open and close may at least in part attach the handles to each other and extend along a horizontal axis of the head of the capsule cutter device. The pin may include a cylindrical pin that is secured on opposing sides using a head to secure components together and enable opening and closing.

A method and system for managing a risk of medication dependence that determines a conservative estimate of the time when the patient will become dependent on a medication as a function of a medication log. The medication log includes dose information and time information for a plurality of administrations of the medication.
