ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for dispensing predetermined pills in sequential order has a base with a cylindrical housing removably mounted on the base and has a pill container dispenser opening in the cylindrical housing. A pill container magazine is rotatably mounted inside the cylindrical housing and has a plurality of magazine sections thereon for holding a plurality of vertically stacked pill containers in stacked arrays. The pill container magazine in a manual embodiment has a plurality of shift knobs thereon for rotatably shifting the pill container magazine within the cylindrical housing between dispensing positions. A visual and audible signal system is mounted in the dispenser base and is actuated by a timer or clock mechanism to signal the time for a patient to take the pills in one pill container in the pill container magazine. A motorized unit has a standard commercial timer mounted beneath the rotatable magazine and has a mechanism for shifting the magazine between positions as the timer mechanism rotates to thereby automatically rotate and align the magazine with the appropriate pill container and set off the visual and audio alarm reminder.
