ABSTRACT:
A cap or closure for medication bottles, containers or vials has a base with a peripheral wall to define a recess. A cover is notably located in the recess below the rim of the peripheral wall. The cover has a marker that is selectively aligned with indica indicating dosage intervals. A one-way mechanism inhibits rotation of the cover relative to the base in one direction, providing the consumer with a simple mechanical device that acts as a reminder of when the next does in a course of medication is due or when the last dose was taken. The closure permits a single cap to serve the needs of different medication frequencies while being inexpensive enough to be included with each container provided by a pharmacy or manufacturer of non-prescription medications or homeopathic products.
