Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for administering a pharmaceutical to an individual through a dispenser control system. Input data is acquired from an input device coupled to a controller of the dispenser control system. The controller is in communication with the input device and configured to execute a stored program to calibrate pump settings of the dispenser control system based on the acquired input data. The stored program also computes a delivery schedule based on the pump settings for the individual and activates the dispenser control system to deliver at least one dose of the pharmaceutical according to the delivery schedule. The delivery schedule is characterized by a waveform other than a square-wave.
