Abstract

A programmed clock is disclosed for signalling a person the time that dosages of medication are to be taken in compliance with a medication regimen. A record producing apparatus is provided for producing a record of the person's compliance with the medication regimen. A control program, including a programmed timer, determines the time that dosages of medication are to be taken from a plurality of compartments. The program activates the record producing apparatus to provide a message that dosages of medication have been missed and that further actions should be taken in response to the missing of successive dosages of medication. The control program also activates the record producing apparatus to provide the person with information useful for correlating the actual chemical or brand name identification of the medication with the compartment storing the medication and other information regarding the medication regimen to be taken prior to activation of the timing function.
