ABSTRACT:
A pill dispenser is provided to enable individuals to take medication at regular specified times throughout the day. The dispenser has an open container with a divider means having a plurality of compartment-forming walls which divide the container into a number of compartments, each compartment adapted to receive and store medication to be taken at a prescribed time as identified with an hour label associated with the compartment, and a rotatable cover enclosing the container and having a sector-shaped opening, which can be moved over a selected compartment for the removal of the medication contained therein. If all compartments are used for holding medication, the sector-shaped opening may be covered with a closure tab which is openable so that the first dose of medication can be taken at the first prescribed time. The divider means may be detachably secured in the container so that it can be replaced with another divider means having a larger or smaller number of compartment-forming walls to thereby accommodate different dosage time periods. The assembly of the dispenser components may be achieved with a separate securing means or the components may be constructed in a particular way without using separate securing means.
