ABSTRACT:
A calendaring cap for a pharmaceutical container comprising at least one ring frictionally and rotatably engaged with a cap. The cap comprises a cap bore having either a cap female thread or a cap bore lip, whereby the calendaring cap for a pharmaceutical container may be installed on a standard pharmaceutical container. Each ring bears a pointer which points towards indicia on the cap. In a calendaring cap for a pharmaceutical container embodiment incorporating two rings, the cap may bear day indicia and hour indicia. A first ring is associated with the day indicia, and its pointer points towards the day indicia. A second ring is associated with the hour indicia, and its pointer points towards the hour indicia. Thus a patient may use the day and hour indicia in conjunction with the pointers to specify when the last dose of medicine within a pharmaceutical container upon which the calendaring cap for a pharmaceutical container is installed was taken, or, in the alternative, when the next dose is due to be taken.
