prescription drug vending machines
In Colorado, USA, they have vending machines that dispense common prescription drugs such as antibiotics, painkillers and asthma inhalers in much the same way as how a drink or snack is dispensed. The aim is to help patients take away the hassle of queuing up at pharmacies to have their prescriptions filled. Located in selected medical centres around Colorado, these machines work by simply entering a prescription number, answering a couple of questions on a touch screen, followed by your prescription drug. There is also a free telephone service should customers have any medical queries relating to their condition or any other general medical inquiries.
