Abstract

A medication delivery device by which multiple medications are encased within separate containers so that each of the said medications are not in actual physical contact with each other until the said containers degrade within a live body, with each of the said separate containers being themselves externally physically connected to at least one other separate container in sequential, chain fashion, which containers are biodegradable within a live body.
