The present invention provides a method and system for improving patient compliance to prescribed therapeutic regimens by allowing the patient to participate in a system, the system being firstly authorized by the patient to initiate communication with the patient should the patient become non-compliant with the prescribed regimen. The system initiates communication with non-compliant patients through means that may include telephone, facsimile, electronic mail, text messaging, RFID, and Bluetooth®, but will not contact those users adhering to the prescribed regimen. Those users adhering to the prescribed regimen, therefore, may report compliance actively (e.g., notifying the system of compliance, thereby preventing communication from the system) or passively (e.g., through high frequency communications from sensors monitoring compliance, thereby preventing communication from the system). The system of the present invention may generally comprise a receiving means, a transmitting means, a database, and a controller coupled to the receiving means, transmitting means, and database.

A tablet breaking device comprises a base and a tablet splitting edge in the base. Means are provided for holding a tablet such that a portion of the tablet extends over the tablet splitting edge. The tablet holding means comprises an elongated opening tapering in depth and width. A moment of force sufficient to break the tablet can be created about the tablet splitting edge by applying a force substantially normal to a portion of the tablet extending over the tablet splitting edge.

There is provided a device for measuring the force required to break a tablet, wherein the device comprises a tablet holding means comprising a base, a tablet splitting edge in the base and an area for holding a tablet in an inclined cantilevered position such that at least a portion of the cantilevered segment of the tablet extends over the tablet splitting edge. Means are provided for exerting a force substantially normal to a portion of the cantilevered segment of the tablet extending over the splitting edge to thereby create a moment of force about the tablet splitting edge sufficient to break the tablet. The device includes means for measuring the force required to break the tablet.

A medicinal container with a general shape of a "nipple" or "pacifier" constructed in such a manner that a chamber is formed, said chamber serving as a reservoir for a liquid, oleaginous, semi-solid, or solid medicament or vacuum completely protected by the members of the device from the external environment and in which case, when said device contains a vacuum in said chamber said device must be constructed in a vacuum or subject to vacuum prior to completion of construction and said device containing said vacuum is then to be delivered to an intermediate, such as a pharmacist, for installation of a specific dose of a medicament into said chamber of said device, said installation being accomplished by use of a syringe with needle by inserting said needle through self-sealing injection-port present on said device, but, in any case, when said device is received by the end-user or consumer it contains a medicament, said medicament being isolated from the external environment from the time it is instilled into the device until the device is manipulated to expose two cavities or holes, one hole in the tip of the nipple allowing the medicament to be sucked into the mouth of an infant, child or animal user by the sucking action of the user and the second cavity or hole on the upper portion of the base, opposite the first hole, allowing air to enter the chamber to facilitate the flow of the medicament through the hole in the tip of the nipple as the user exerts sucking action on said nipple.

An improved ampul is disclosed. The ampul of this invention comprises a hollow tubular or cylindrical container composed of glass or other breakable material having a reservoir chamber and an upstanding wall portion terminating in a sealable stem or tip portion, and includes a collecting chamber located between the reservoir chamber and stem portion. Upon breaking of the ampul above the collecting chamber, any particles so formed are trapped in the collecting chamber and thus introduction of such matter into the contents of the ampul is markedly reduced.
