ABSTRACT:
A medicine reminder device for reminding an individual taking medication of the time the next dosage should be taken. The medicine reminder device includes a base structure and a time indicator. In the preferred embodiment, the base structure includes a foundation, a cylindrical support which extends upward from the foundation, and an annular lip which extends outward from the cylindrical support. The foundation has a reference mark imprinted thereon. In the preferred embodiment, the time indicator is a ring assembly which rotates around the cylindrical support. The ring assembly defines an annular groove which receives the annular lip to secure the ring assembly to the base structure. The ring assembly has sequential time indicia imprinted thereon. To use the medicine reminder, the medicine bottle of choice is placed inside the cylindrical support, and the ring assembly is rotated such that the selected time from the sequential time indicia is aligned with the reference marker to indicate the time of day that a dose of medicine has been or is to be taken.
