Abstract
A medication dispenser for dispensing unit doses of medication from blister comprises a top plate having a face area and a back area with at least one aperture for receiving a blister of a blister pack, a bottom plate adapted to engage the back area of the top plate to confine the blister pack between the top plate and the bottom plate and having at least one dispensing aperture in register with the blister of the blister pack, a bridge spanning at least a portion of the face area of the top plate which carries a label-receiving surface having an area less than the area of the top plate, and supported above the face area of the top plate by support members a distance great enough to avoid interference with the blisters of the blister pack. One or more of the medication dispensers can be held in a frame which confines the dispensers between side walls having bosses which cooperate with retaining tabs on the medication dispensers to retain the dispensers within the frame.
