ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to store and aid in the dispensing of calendar-oriented drugs is disclosed in which the apparatus comprises a package containing a plurality of pill-containing enclosures, the enclosures arranged in rows, each enclosure having a numerical indicia associated therewith corresponding to a day in a calendar month with corresponding indicia on the reverse side of the enclosure to aid in the determination of which pill enclosure to open. In this way the user can easily determine and verify that the proper enclosure has been opened. The package also provides a visual indication of calendar days for which pills have not been used by the patient and in this way provides patient compliance information to the physician prescribing such drugs. The dispensing apparatus is particularly suited to the administration of calendar-oriented prescription drugs for the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
