Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser

Worried that your loved one isn't taking their pills on time? Help them stay on schedule the easy way, with the Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser.

The auto-rotating tray dispenses pills as scheduled, so it's great for individuals who get confused easily. This affordable automatic medication dispenser helps ensure medication compliance without burdening a caregiver with multiple daily visits or requiring the expense of a visiting nurse.

Pill Dispenser Features:

• The rotating tray with 28 separate compartments advances at pre-set alarm times (up to 4 per day).

• The secure top has an opening that only exposes one compartment at a time. (The top is locked in place with a plastic key and won't pop open when the pills are taken out.)

• Each compartment holds 5 to 6 small-medium pills.
  (Compartment Dimensions: 1³/8" L x ⁵/8" W x 1" H)

• Uses 4 'AA' batteries (not included), so it's easy to travel with.

• 12 or 24 hour clock settings

The Med-E-Lert is perfect for:

• someone who needs a reminder to take their medicines on time.

• individuals who forget they've taken their pills and may be tempted to take another dose.

• those who are not likely to attempt to break the plastic lock. (The lock is not indestructible. A tool, like a screwdriver, could be used to break into the dispenser.)

Looking for something with a more secure lock? The MedReady Automatic Medication Dispenser has a real metal lock and key.

How the Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser works:

You can schedule up to 4 alarms per day.

• Choose one of 3 alarm tones or set the alarm to silent.

• A red LED light on the unit also flashes when the alarm is activated.

• As the alarm goes off, the tray advances one compartment, allowing access to the medication in that compartment. The other compartments are covered with the secured plastic top.

If you use:

• one daily alarm, the tray is good for 28 days of medication dispensing.

• two daily alarms, the tray can hold two weeks worth of medication.

• three daily alarms, the tray can hold 9 days of medication.

• four daily alarms, the tray can hold one week's worth of medication.

The alarm beeps for up to 30 minutes until the pills are removed. To turn off the alarm and remove the pills, simply turn the Med-E-Lert upside down. If you miss a medication time, the tray will advance at the next scheduled alarm. This prevents double dosing and medication errors.
