Abstract
A support carries a pad of medicine schedules and a pad of medicine display cards. Each medicine schedule has a place for a medication sticker with a picture of the tablet or other medication involved, and space for instructions concerning that medication. Each display card carries multiple stickers of a single medication. An individual sticker can be lifted from the card and placed on the medicine schedule. A physician writes instructions concerning the medicine. The patient is provided with the medicine schedule and thus has a graphic indication of which medicine must be taken and the instructions concerning that medicine.
