A system and method for accurately and reliably determining and recording the time, date and location where a medication is used, and a system and method for transmitting, collecting, and using that data to improve clinical care, disease management, and public health surveillance. The device allows information concerning drug usage, including the time, date and location of use, to be transmitted to a remote network computer system so that the data can be evaluated to determine current impairment and future risk, and to identify changes in the frequency, timing, or location of medication usage indicative of change in disease control or management, and to examine spatial, temporal or demographic patterns of medication use or absence of use among individuals and groups. In addition, the device may further be configured to transmit signals indicative of its status, condition or other results to the remote network computer system.

The automated drug discrimination system inspects the drug being dispensed during the dispensing process so that the pharmacist can be certain the correct formulation, dosage and quality of pharmaceuticals were dispensed so the pharmacist does not need to spend as much time examining the dispensed drug. The pills are dispensed through a dispensing area using a dispensing apparatus and are collected in a collection area. At least two sensors take a plurality of measurements of an aggregate of the pills during the dispensing process or of each pill as it moves through the dispensing area. A discrimination system compares the measurements taken to verify that the pills dispensed are the type of pharmaceuticals intended to be dispensed as identified in the individual prescription for at least one of formulation and dosage of the pill.

Opiates, amphetamines, barbiturates and other drugs such as benzodiazepines are extensively abused or misused and are frequently the cause of death by overdosing. These drugs are also prone to oxidation and the final degradation products depend on the reactants and the reaction conditions. This invention describes the use of inactivating agents such as permanganates, peroxides, persulfates, bismuthates, periodates or other oxidants in a dosage form as an approach to minimize abuse and overdose. The product is designed such that the inactivating agent is released if there is an attempt to extract the drug from the formulation or in cases of overdose. Once released, the inactivating agent quickly degrades the drug and converts it into inactive compounds. Since the reactants (drug and inactivating agent) are incompatible in situations of normal drug usage, they are kept separated within the vehicle of the invention, but released for interaction in case of misuse. A catalyst may be included in the formulation to facilitate the reaction.
