Medbox Rx Lockbox

Marketed by: Medbox Inc

MedBox Rx Lockbox is a drug vending machine system that allows pharmacists to load an individual’s medicine into a temporary use lockbox for later retrieval. After registering, the individual can return to the pharmacy at their convenience and, after a swipe of their authorization card and a quick fingerprint recognition scan, open a lockbox door and retrieve the medication pre-loaded by the pharmacist. The system also takes a photograph of each person conducting a transaction and maintains a permanent record of every operation, thereby increasing security and compliance, while virtually eliminating theft and fraud.
