ABSTRACT:
An improved drinking cup lid for assisting in the ingestion of medication and other materials in the form of pills, tablets or capsules, which is used in combination with a cup holding liquid to be taken with the medication or pills/tablets, contains a spout with a base grid. Both the spout and the base grid have pointed ribbed members which minimize the points and area of contact between the pill or tablet and the dispensing device. The spout is tilted approximately 30 to 35 degrees from the vertical toward the center of the cup such that when the medication or pill to be ingested, the liquid first passes through the grid in the bottom of the spout, the pill is thoroughly wetted, and is washed with the liquid through the angled spout into the mouth of the user.
