Method Of Use
At the pre-programmed times, the dispenser rotates, the alarm signal is heard, and the correct dosage comes into view through the opening in the lid. The alarm continues to ring for one hour. To stop the alarm ringing and dispense the pills, the user tilts the dispenser and the pills fall into the hand or a suitable container

Factors To Consider
Always check with a pharmacist before storing medications in a dispenser or storage container as some medications require special storage conditions and some medications cannot be kept in the same container as others.
