TICKER®
The Syringe That Clicks:
TICKER®: An innovative topical metered dispenser empowering patients with seamless self-administration of compounded medications. With each CLICK, TICKER® dispenses 0.05 mL, granting precise dosage control.
Dispensing precise amounts of topical compounds shouldn’t be so complicated.
In 2012, Dr. Moses introduced "The Syringe That Clicks," a topical metered-dose dispenser designed for bioidentical hormones and other cream and gel-based medications commonly applied topically or vaginally.
Shortly after establishing an independent compounding pharmacy in California, Dr. Moses observed a scarcity of suitable compounding equipment available to fellow pharmacists. Driven by a commitment to compounding, and to enhance accuracy, he embarked on a mission to create the most precise and reliable metered-dose dispensers. These dispensers could be shared among compounding colleagues nationwide and globally.
To surpass—or at the very least, match—the accuracy of a syringe, each click of this dispenser would need to deliver 0.05 milliliters. At TICKERWORKS, we understand the critical importance of maintaining accuracy and precision in medication dosing. That's why we're proud to uphold a rigorous standardization policy, ensuring that every click of our TICKER dispenser, delivers a consistent Dispense-Per-Click across all models we manufacture.

Dosing made easy.
Click Aware Technology:
Click Aware Technology delivers an unparalleled tri-modal dosing experience, enabling patients to hear, see, and feel every dose with confidence.
See it: The dial’s position visually confirms your dosage alignment. Patients can see their precise dose dispenser in action, enhancing confidence.
Hear it: As you turn the dial, a satisfying CLICK engages your auditory senses. With an enhanced click every fifth click, creating a distinct dynamic between soft and hard clicks, this audible feedback provides reassuring confirmation that your dosing is precise and on track.
Feel it: But that’s not all! TICKER applicators go beyond sound and sight. With each CLICK, a crisp vibration is simultaneously felt by the end user through their fingertips.
Dispense per CLICK Standardization:
In today's complex healthcare landscape, healthcare professionals face numerous challenges when it comes to medication dispensing. Varied dispensing mechanisms and the potential for dosage errors pose significant risks to patient safety.
Consider this: with a multitude of prescriptions and dispenser options available, it's all too easy for healthcare providers to overlook the dispensing intricacies of each device. Independent compounding pharmacies often find themselves grappling with the confusion and potential errors stemming from varying dispensing standards.
Unlike other compounding wholesalers and topical dispenser manufacturers, TICKERWORKS stands out for our unwavering commitment to standardization. Every TICKER applicator ensures uniformity in dispense-per-click, providing healthcare teams with confidence in their prescribing practices. This commitment sets TICKERWORKS apart as a trusted partner dedicated to delivering reliable and consistent dispensing solutions.
