ABSTRACT:
Pill dispenser including a base with multiple compartments receivable of pills and a cover member engaging with the base and rotatable relative thereto. The cover member includes an access opening selectively alignable with each compartment upon rotation of the cover member relative to the base to enable removal of pills in each compartment when in alignment with the access opening. The base includes indicia for the timed dosage of pills arranged in alignment with the compartments. A retaining member is removably arranged in the base and receives a pill holder with an optional clock/alarm/timer unit. The pill holder includes a pill-receiving compartment which can store light-sensitive pills or an emergency supply of pills or money. The clock/alarm/timer unit includes a pill timer setting which activates an alarm at a set time. The alarm remains activated up to 25 hours if pills are not removed from one of the compartments.
