Abstract

This invention relates to apparatus and methods for dispensing a series of pills in a prescribed order. Although a variety of dispensers are available the designs are inadequate to serve the needs of the patient by assuring the medication is administered in the prescribed sequence. A pill package (110) is disposed within the dispenser (100) and is locked in place and cannot be removed. A plunger (120) is provided to facilitate the expulsion of a pill from the pill package. The pill package (110) automatically advances to the next dispensing position immediately after the expulsion of the proper pill. A calendar indicator (130) is provided for designating the period the pills are to be taken. The indicator can be present to indicate a specific day the first pill is to be taken. The indicator can also be set by the user to locate any day of the week the first pill is to be taken.
