A pharmaceutical dispenser including a tube having an open end and a space
filled with a composition, and an applicator including a first end
removably coupled to the open end of the tube and a longitudinal portion
with at least one aperture is described. The dispenser can also include a
removable cover extending longitudinally and having a bore surrounding
the longitudinal portion of the applicator. The composition may be an
anal medication. A single dosage unit of the composition is usually
contained in the tube, and the tube, applicator, and cover are disposable
after use. Methods of using the dispenser include squeezing the tube,
allowing the composition to exit the aperture of the applicator, and
applying the composition to a target area.
