Dosing systems for tablets
Dosing systems for tablets play an important role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of treatment. They ensure that medicines are always administered in the correct dose. This prevents over- or under-dosing, which in turn improves treatment outcomes and reduces side effects. At the same time, they help patients to take their medicines correctly.
Tablet dispenser
Pharmaceutical tablet dispenser based on a standard pharmaceutical container
The tablet dispenser is a practical snap-on dosing cap for glass and plastic containers. A simple twist mechanism allows tablets to be separated cleanly.
The dosing cap fulfils several functions:
It closes the container securely and protects against accidental activation.
It enables precise dosing of the tablets.
It can be used directly as a measuring cup.
Optionally, the dispenser can be equipped with an integrated desiccant capsule to provide additional protection for sensitive tablets.
How it works
Overhead application
- Remove the cap.
- Turn the dispensing element in one direction until the desired number of tablets is dispensed.
- Take the tablets.
- Replace the empty cup.

Smart Pocket tablet dispenser
Single-dose dispensing of tablets
The challenge for Smart Pocket was to develop a tablet dispensing system that is completely sealed against environmental influences such as oxygen and moisture, meets all pharmaceutical standards and is still easy to implement with just a few parts.
How it works:
- To remove a tablet, pull the pull-out downwards.
- This causes a tablet to fall into the dosing chamber, where it is collected and dispensed.
- To close, push the dispenser back together.
Optional features
Child safety lock
Pressing on the side releases the pull-out
Desiccant
Integrated holder for desiccant capsules possible
Custom branding
Your own symbol/logo on the lid
