ABSTRACT:
A pill dispenser particularly adapted for use by the physically or mentally infirm. A plurality of containers are arranged in a matrix, each for receiving, storing and selectively releasing one or more pills. The columns of the matrix correspond to days of the week, while the rows of the matrix correspond to times of the day. The containers are housed in a box which may be placed on its back for loading the containers with pills, and mounted vertically for use in dispensing of the pills. A guide is associated with the containers for receiving the contents of the containers and guiding them to a predetermined outlet. A removable cover is placed over the containers, the cover having push buttons which selectively actuate the containers, the push buttons being identified by labels for day of the week and time of the day. A timer, and clock display may be integrated into the dispenser so as to provide an audio display and illuminate the particular push button corresponding to the medication to be taken at a particular day and time.
