A system for dispensing prepackaged single doses of a medication. The system includes a carousel made up of columns each containing single doses sharing a dosage size and a medication type, configured to rotate about an axis. A pushing mechanism is coupled to the columns, configured to push a selected single dose from a column onto the verification platform. The system further includes a biometric authentication mechanism for determining an identity of a patient based on biometric data to find a dosage order corresponding to their identity, and directing the rotation mechanism to rotate the dose in the dosage order in-line with the pushing mechanism. The system further includes a mechanism configured to dispense the selected single dose if the selected single dose matches the dosage order, and push the selected single dose into a rejection reservoir if the selected single dose does not match the dosage order.

A device for automated pumping and dispensing of single doses of opioid addiction medication to a user. The device includes a pumping platform, an outlet, and a cup dispensing component configured to dispense a cup onto the pumping platform. The device further includes a pumping mechanism configured to rotate and pump the opioid addiction medication into the cup. The device further includes a pusher wheel operatively coupled to the pumping platform, configured to cyclically rotate between positions. In one position, the pusher wheel pushes the pumping mechanism away and blocks the outlet. In another position, the pusher wheel moves such that the pumping mechanism rotates over the pumping platform and blocks the outlet. In another position, the pusher wheel pushes the cup from the pumping platform to the outlet and moves such that the outlet is exposed.

An original traditional Chinese medicine preparation compound 511 for resisting morphine addiction is optimized, a new compound 511 is prepared, and the purposes of reducing toxicity and improving efficiency are achieved. The new compound 511 is safe in medication, can effectively intervene in formation of morphine addiction, does not cause increase of spontaneous movement of mice, and can also significantly inhibit increase of spontaneous movement of mice caused by first contact with morphine and second contact with morphine. According to the novel compound 511, optimization of the compound 511 is achieved, the side effect of weight loss is weakened, morphine addiction formation can be more effectively intervened, and the novel compound 511 can act on the classical pathway of opioid drug addiction; in addition, the composition medicines of the compound are simpler, the curative effect is definite, the price is moderate, and the compound has a very good commercial prospect.

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to an efficient brain-targeted oxytocin nasal spray for resisting oxycodone addiction. The nasal spray comprises a polyelectrolyte complex formed by amino acid grafted chitosan and anionic polysaccharide, wherein oxytocin is loaded in the polyelectrolyte complex. The amino acid is selected from tryptophan, leucine or tyrosine. The preparation is administrated through a nasal cavity, the brain targeting property and bioavailability of oxytocin are remarkably improved by utilizing an LAT-1 transporter mediated active transport mechanism, and the preparation is used for preventing or treating addiction of opioid drugs such as oxycodone and the like. Experiments show that the preparation can significantly enhance distribution of oxytocin in the brain, inhibit formation and relapse of addiction and promote drug withdrawal, and has a good application prospect.
