A new standard for prescription access

THE BOTTLE.
RETHOUGHT.

One dose, on schedule. The rest stays secured.

LokRX is a prescription container designed to release a single dose when the prescriber intends — and stay closed between dose windows.

01 / THE IDEAACCESS, REIMAGINED

FULL PRESCRIPTION.
ONE DOSE AT A TIME.

The full prescription stays with the patient. Only the next scheduled dose becomes available.

A conventional vial exposes the entire supply every time it opens. LokRX is designed to release one prescriber-scheduled dose while the rest remains enclosed.

ONE WINDOW.
ONE DOSE.

A timed turn lines up one compartment. A single dose reaches the drawer while the rest stays enclosed.

02 / THE SYSTEMGRAVITY DOES THE WORK

ENGINEERED
TO DO LESS.

A precise sequence, built around rotation and gravity. The dispensing path is mechanical, with no motor in the base product.

TIMED CAP

The reusable cap controls when the stack can advance.

02

STACK CARTRIDGE

Individual compartments hold the supply in a compact, replaceable stack.

GRAVITY PATH

Aligned openings guide one dose down to the drawer.

SINGLE-DOSE DRAWER

One dose is available. The remaining supply stays inside.

03 / THE CARTRIDGE SYSTEMMADE FOR THE FULL PRESCRIPTION

MORE THAN
A BOTTLE.

A replaceable stack organizes the prescription into individual dose compartments. The cap and outer shell are designed for reuse, while the inner cartridge is made to move with the medication.

A SMALL
MECHANISM.
A BIG SHIFT.

Invented by clinicians who work with this problem every day. Built with Method Five Labs’ venture studio team and an industrial design roster that has delivered for companies like GE Health. Clinical insight meets product execution.

PROBLEM.
BUILT TO EXECUTE.

The people who saw the gap are building the answer. Two clinicians invented LokRX while caring for patients; their practice sees roughly 30,000 patients a year. Method Five Labs brings venture-building capacity, with industrial design experience that includes GE Health.

THE CATEGORY
CHANGES
ONCE.

The airbag began as an option before it changed what people expected from a car. The prescription vial has gone roughly fifty years without an equivalent step forward. LokRX brings the next layer of control into the container itself.
