Abstract
Disclosed and described herein are systems and methods for controlling the dispensing of medications in solid units. A system may comprise a lid adapter with a dispenser opening and a bottle cover with at least one selection orifice of corresponding diameter to obstruct bulk passage and permit sequential passage of solid units of at least one medication type. The present invention is particularly beneficial for preventing harm from overdose ingestion, such as suicide attempts and/or accidental consumption by children.
