Medication dispenser

A medication dispenser comprising:

• a base seat;
• a circuitry unit;
• and
• a notched wheel rotatable within the base seat,
• wherein the base seat including a mouthpiece, the base seat defining a flow path therein that is in communication with the mouthpiece, the circuitry unit being disposed on the base seat, and including a first circuit board and a pressure sensor that is disposed on a bottom surface of the first circuit board and that is located in the flow path, said pressure sensor being for detecting pressure difference in the flow path, the notched wheel being formed with a plurality of equidistantly and angularly spaced-apart notches, each of the notches being adapted for receiving one of capsules of a conveying strip, and
• wherein when the notched wheel is rotated to a position such that one of said notches is in communication with the flow path, the one of the notches being located downstream of the pressure sensor, and a dose of medication in a corresponding one of the capsules of the conveying strip being accessible via the mouthpiece,
• wherein said medication dispenser further comprises an outer casing, said circuitry unit further including a battery, a first switch that is disposed on said first circuit board, and a second switch that is disposed on said first circuit board, said outer casing being movable relative to said base seat between a closed position where said outer casing covers said mouthpiece, and an open position where said outer casing uncovers said mouthpiece, and
• wherein when said outer casing is at the closed position, said first switch is actuated such that electric power is prevented from being supplied from said battery to said first circuit board, and when said outer casing is at the open position, said second switch is actuated such that electric power is supplied from said battery to said first circuit board.
