No, I don't think so, because this machine is exclusive for a particular drugstore, here in the US. The pharmacists in that drugstore have to enter the drug information, for each medication, place it onto a censor that goes on the bottom of the medication and then, the meds, get placed on the

There is no good reason why you shouldn't go down and back up. When you think about it, water descends from the city water tower below the streets then back up into your homes or even up into high buildings. In some places they may even use a pump to lift it higher than the tower albeit with a
