A push release closed system drug transfer apparatus for easy and secure drug transfer includes a cylindrical housing having a cylindrical housing having a top end, an outer wall, and a bottom end forming an inner cavity. The top end has a syringe aperture to receive a syringe. A needle tube is coupled to the cylindrical housing and extends from the syringe aperture to a principal aperture to receive a needle of the syringe. An inner cylinder is configured to selectively engage connector of a vial. An ejector spring moves the inner cylinder from a compressed position to an alternate decompressed position. A lock mechanism and a release secure the inner cylinder in the compressed position and alternatively free the inner cylinder to move to the alternate decompressed position.
