ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for indicating when a person either took a pill or other medication, or when he is scheduled to take the next dose of the medication. The invention is conveniently attached to a pill bottle having a cap. An image of a clock face is printed on or adhered to the top of the bottle cap and/or the bottom and may include either a MEDICATION TAKEN AT image or a MEDICATION DUE AT image. A transparent, rotatable cap, having an arrow indicator inscribed thereon, is placed over the bottle cap. A second transparent, rotatable cap, having an arrow indicator inscribed thereon may be placed over a clock face image and a medication image on the bottom for use as a second timer reminder. When a medication is taken, the rotatable cover covering the MEDICATION TAKEN AT end is turned to the time taken. The opposite end timer is then turned to the MEDICATION DUE AT end to indicate when the next dose is due.
