Abstract
An arrangement for delivering medications in an implantable medical device, such as a heart pacemaker, has at least two containers or receptacles for the medication disposed below the surface of a portion of the implanted device, each container terminating in an opening having the size of a pore in the surface of the implanted device to permit the medication to be delivered from the container to surrounding tissue. The structure permits the medication to be delivered at specific regions of tissue, and in a manner which permits control of the medication dose.
