Abstract
A drug delivery and patient reminder system is disclosed. The system includes an upper vessel adapted to attach to a lower vessel or existing medicine bottle. The upper vessel is closed with a cap and provides a separate compartment for placing a specified quantity of a medication, for example, one week's worth of medication. The remainder of the medication may be stored in the lower vessel compartment. The upper vessel may be reversible to allow a larger joint compartment to be formed. In this mode, the container may be turned upside down and a level indicator indicates when a certain quantity of medication remains, such as one week's worth of medication. A flanged cap provides a base of support and optional dispensing cup.
