the pyxis is a medication dispensing machine used in hospitals. The pharmacy, usually within the hospital, will fill and maintain the medications in the machine and when a nurse or other qualified member needs a certain medication, they can log into the computer connected with the block of small drawers and get the med they need. When the nurse needs, say Lidocain, they log in and the computer causes the drawer that has Lidocain in it to open, she takes what she needs and closes the drawer. Usually once a day the pharmacy will check the computer against what is actually in the drawer and refill as needed. discrepancies are common.
