ABSTRACT:
An indicator for tracking compliance with the required action of a recurring event is disclosed, the indicator comprising a plurality of selectively removable tabs connected to a main body by a narrowed connecting neck, the tabs having an indicia corresponding to the specific occurrences of the recurring event. Upon compliance with the required action, the appropriately marked tab is removed by the user by breaking off the tab from the main body at the narrowed connecting neck. Appropriate indicia may be marked on the adjacent tabs of the indicator corresponding to the periodicity of the recurring event, such as twice-a-day or three times-a-day. Where the recurring event is the taking of medication, the indicator may be adapted to be attached to a standard medication bottle in a number of alternative ways. Alternatively, where the medication bottle or bottle cap are plastic, the indicator 10 may be molded directly into either of these components.
