Abstract:
1. A medication dispenser comprising: a first chamber, said first chamber having an open top end, said first chamber being at least partially compressible; a reconstituting fluid contained within said first chamber; a first breakable membrane covering said open top end of said first chamber; a second chamber, said second chamber having an open bottom end and an openable tip, said second chamber being selectively joinable to said first chamber; a pre-selected quantity of medication contained within said second chamber; and a breaker ring within said second chamber, said breaker ring having a lower edge directed away from said openable tip, said lower edge of said of said breaker ring being configured to be received within said open top end of said first chamber; said second chamber being configured to selectively retract at least partially within said first chamber to transition said medication dispenser from an extended position, in which said lower edge of said breaker ring is not in contact with said first breakable membrane and not in contact with said reconstituting fluid, to a compact position, in which said lower edge of said breaker ring is received within said open top end of said first chamber; said breaker ring being configured to break through said first breakable membrane when said second chamber is retracted to transition said medication dispenser from said extended position to said compact position; said openable tip being configured to be selectively openable to form an opening; whereby retracting of said second chamber at least partially within said first chamber to transition said medication dispenser from said extended position to said compact position causes said breaker ring to break open said first breakable membrane such that said medication within said second chamber and said reconstituting fluid within said first chamber mix to form a medication mixture; and whereby, following opening of said openable tip, compression of said first chamber while said medication dispenser is in said compact position forces said medication mixture out of said first chamber, through said breaker ring, and out of said second chamber via said opening.
