said safety interlock positioned in a second predetermined, preloaded medication dose position, wherein the second predetermined, preloaded medication dose position does not correspond to a first predetermined, preloaded dose of said medication;
wherein when the safety interlock is in the second predetermined, preloaded medication dose position said medication applicator is configured to allow activation to dispense the first predetermined, preloaded first dose of the medication;
said safety interlock positioned in a third predetermined, preloaded medication dose position, wherein the third predetermined, preloaded medication dose position does not correspond to a second predetermined, preloaded dose of said medication;
wherein when the safety interlock is in the third predetermined, preloaded medication dose position said medication applicator is configured to allow activation to dispense the second predetermined, preloaded second dose of the medication;
