a push tab that is affixed to the reservoir and is configured to allow a user to move the reservoir from an undeployed position to a deployed position,
a hollow puncture element including a hollow point,
wherein the hollow point is configured to puncture the reservoir to release the pharmaceutical when the reservoir is in the deployed position,

a microfluidic channel in communication with the hollow point and configured to receive the released pharmaceutical,
a plurality of hollow needles each having a lumen that is in fluid communication with the microfluidic channel, and
a plurality of fluidic channels each extending from said opening to a lumen of one of said plurality of hollow needles such that each of said plurality of fluidic channels delivers a portion of the pharmaceutical to the lumen of one of said plurality of hollow needles,
wherein the plurality of needles and the puncture element are independent from one another,
wherein the plurality of needles is configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position, and
