Abstract
A device that reminds the user of the proper administration intervals for medications and confirms such administrations is made of a rectangular framework having a number of horizontally disposed rails, each slidably supporting markers that represent a dose of a particular medication. Information panels are associated with the rails to designate the medications being administered. Trays that store containers of medication are disposed rearwardly of the framework. Adhesive labels are applied to the containers to cause correlation with markers on a particular rail.
Claims1

- a) a substantially rectangular frame comprised of upper and lower straight rigid horizontal members spaced apart by paired parallel straight rigid upright members defining paired upper and lower corners, said upper member being disposed rearwardly with respect to said lower member,
- b) a plurality of horizontally disposed rails removably associated with said upright members,
- c) an information panel associated with each rail adjacent an upright member and corresponding to a prescribed time for administration of a medication dosage,
- d) a plurality of color coded dosage markers slidably disposed upon each rail, each marker corresponding to a unit of medication dosage, and
- e) adhesive labels color-coded to correspond with the color code of said markers, and adapted to be affixed to medication containers,
