Abstract

See full text

A method for controlled release of medication comprises a dispenser for regulating the release of medication according to designated instructions and for identifying instances where the dispenser has been tampered with in connection with attempts to release additional medication above the designated instructions. In addition, a dispenser for abusable medication is structured to dispense single dosages of medication at predetermined time intervals. Access to a medication is resisted at other times, and access to more than a single dosage of medication at any given time is also resisted. The dispenser may include its own container for the medication or may be utilized in conjunction with a standard medication container. The dispenser may be structured to show visible damage in the event of tampering.
