Med-E-Lert: The Answer to the Medication Dispenser Dilemma

Managing medication can be a challenge for anyone especially for the elderly, Alzheimer's patients, visually or mentally impaired, and patients with complicated daily medical regimes. If medication is taken at the wrong time, in the wrong amount or by the wrong person there can be serious side effects. The Med-E-Lert was created as a solution to the concerns surrounding medication dispensing. Designed with safety and convenience in mind, the Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser features a secured, tamper-proof, locking key system to avoid over-medication. With 28 medication compartments, the Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser can be used for medication taken up to 4 times daily. Three different alarm tones and a blinking light alert the patient when medication needs to be taken and will not turn off until the pill dispenser is tilted on its side to dispense the pills. The Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser includes three discs that can be inserted to indicate the day of the week and the time of day depending on the number of doses needed daily. Despite its compact size, the Med-E-Lert Automatic Pill Dispenser also features the largest pill compartments of any other pill dispenser. The greatest feature of the Med-E-Lert overall is its versatility of use. The Med-E-Lert can be used for prescription medication, vitamins and health supplements.
