1. A drug mixing and transfer device comprising:
- a base;
a valve attached to said base;
a plurality of ports with fluid passageways extending generally outwardly from said valve, said valve enabling fluid communication between the fluid passageways of said plurality of ports;
a piercing connector attached to each of said plurality of ports, said piercing connector being adapted to receive and penetrate a vial and to retain the vial in place during operation of the drug mixing and transfer device;
a retainer attached to said base and located in spaced relation to said piercing connector, said retainer being adapted to maintain the vial in spaced relation with said piercing connector prior to operation of the drug mixing and transfer device; and
a syringe attaching port having a fluid passageway and extending generally outwardly from said valve, said valve enabling fluid communication between the fluid passageway of said syringe attaching port and the fluid passageways of said plurality of ports.
