the Pager Pill Box

a friendly reminder for when you forget to take your meds

When I skip my dose of anti-depressants, everybody suffers. What's worse is no one dares to mention that they've noticed I've forgotten to take 'em. Like a pager, if that pill box had not been opened that day, a beep would go off every hour to remind me to take my little pills. When persons such as myself are on a steady diet of medication, the entire world is a better place for me AND you. god bless

"Rely on the electronic pillbox to remind you when it's time to take your medication. The size of a credit card, fits easily in ANY pocket or purse!" [StarChaser, Sep 20 2000]

       I used to take 10 different prescriptions a day, different dosages, different pre/post dietary requirements, etc. [result of being rearended by vehicle going 100+mph while myself just leaving stop sign] Headaches around the clock for 3 years. Some pills were the size of BBs and could only be taken Once a day otherwise, you know, death. Some 4 times, blah blah. This would have saved me a lot of consternation.

       You'd also need a Pager Pill Box Pager for when you forget your Pager Pill Box.

       I'd like one of these for my grandmother, and I'd like to be able to check if she's opened the pill box at the right times online, that way if can call her if (when) she looses the pager ...
