ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for oral medication which promotes patient compliance with prescribed treatment and dosage regimens. A housing has an opening formed therein through which may be viewed a plurality of individually defined compartments or wells within each of which are placed tablets or capsules corresponding to desired individual dosages. The plurality of compartments are arranged in a regular, preferably matrix, form so as to define a plurality of columns and rows of compartments which may respectively correspond to and be labeled with the particular day and time of day at which the individual dosages are desired to be dispensed. Means are provided for preventing manual accessability to all but a single day's worth of dosages. Each day's dosages may be successively selected by means of a child-proof advancing mechanism. The individual dosages within each day's dosages may be selected by the patient via a plurality of individual manually pivotable preferably transparent lids. The patient, pharmacist, and/or doctor may ascertain at a glance whether the desired treatment regimen has been complied with.
