Ideal solution for people who have to take pills up to four times a day but have difficulty remembering or identifying the correct medication to take. Can relieve carer stress as it is lockable, preventing extra medication being taken and they can be sure that tablets are being taken on time. The 28 compartments are extra large in size and can fit up to 18 aspirin size pills. At the pre-programmed time the alarm sounds (for up to 30 minutes or until the pills are dispensed), LED light flashes, the cassette rotates and the pills come into view. The user then simply tilts the unit to dispense the pills and stop the alarm. Spare trays are available to enable medication to be filled remotely by a carer or pharmacist. With a low battery alert it requires 4 x AA batteries (included).
