A method of dispensing medicaments may employ a drug dispensing device
comprised of an upper hopper having an upper opening for receiving a
medicament and a lower opening. The drug dispensing device also includes
a lower hopper having an upper opening and a lower opening in a bottom
portion thereof. The upper hopper defines a bulk storage chamber and the
lower hopper defines a dispensing chamber. A rotatable dispensing disc is
positioned in a lower portion of the dispensing chamber for dispensing
medicament from the drug dispensing device through the lower opening in
the lower hopper. A regulator is situated between the bulk storage
chamber and the dispensing chamber for controlling the rate at which
medicament moves from the storage chamber to the dispensing chamber.
