Abstract
A system and method for dispensing pharmaceutical samples is provided. The system comprises a dispenser base, a lid, and a dispensing portion. The dispensing portion further comprises a window, finger cutouts, and a front section of a spring plate. The front section may further comprise curved portions that assist in maintaining a pharmaceutical sample within the pharmaceutical dispenser until a user intentionally removes the pharmaceutical sample. A ramp located substantially adjacent to the spring plate guides the pharmaceutical samples down a loading chamber to the dispensing portion.
