Abstract
The present disclosure provides a medication cartridge and associated dispensing device. The dispensing device includes a housing containing a cartridge carrier, designed with a specific connector to align with a medication cartridge. The medication cartridge includes a shell with a medicine vial slidably positioned therein. When the dispensing device is activated, the cartridge carrier rotates to raise the vial and cause the vial to dispense medicine from the vial and out of a dispensing aperture for use by a patient.
