ABSTRACT:
An improved portable dispenser for medicines, medical preparations or drugs such as in the form of pills, tablets, capsules, etc., has a disposable tray insert, including separate receptacles or compartments corresponding to four periods per day over the course of a week totaling twenty-eight receptacles. The dispenser includes a tray which is charged each week with the tray insert containing the prescribed week's dosage for the patient. The tray and its insert are made with interfitting parts so that the tray insert can only be placed in the tray with the medicine properly positioned according to the correct time at which it should be taken by the patient. The tray with its insert are received in a case having movable transparent cover strips slidable in the top of the case between positions closing the top of the tray insert compartments and open positions exposing the insert compartments to permit their contents to be dispensed. In one preferred embodiment, the tray insert is provided with a top cover sealing the medicine contents for sanitary purposes. When inserted in the case, the cover is automatically stripped from the insert to expose the medicines for dispensing after the movable cover strips are slid to open position.
