Here are three models of the famous MedReady Medications Dispenser. They are lockable (to prevent double dosing) with 28 compartments & hold up to 11 caplets. Added features include a red flashing light & a modem that will call emergency numbers if meds are not taken.

• MedReady Automatic Medications Dispenser - You'll be delighted with this moderately priced medications dispenser that holds up to 28 doses and provides the right medications at the right time. Set it to alarm up to four times per day. At the prescribed time, the unit will sound its beeping alarm (which can be set to last for 30, 45, 60 or 250 minutes). The dispenser is easy to load, easy to use, and it's lockable, so no chance of mistake or double-dosing.
• MedReady Automatic Medications Dispenser with Flashing Red Light - Exactly the same as the basic unit, except the MedReady Automatic Medications Dispenser with Flashing Red Light has a flashing light that compliments the auditory beeping alarm. Great for those with hearing difficulties.
• The MedReady PLUS - The MedReady PLUS offers all the benefits of the first two units, plus a phone modem that makes it possible for distant caregivers to know if and when medications were taken (removed from the dispenser). Plug the unit into your phone jack and it will monitor the alarm times, plus post the information to a secure web site. If the meds are not removed by the end of the alarm duration, the MedReady PLUS will alert the Call Center to call up to three emergency telephone numbers. (The first number can be used to call the patient.)

  If the phone becomes disconnected or after calling all three emergency numbers (failing to get a response), an emergency email will be sent to the primary caregiver. If the calls are picked up by an answering machine, a message will be left and the next number called. The unit also checks for power outages or telephone failure every 24 hours. One year warranty.

What we like best about this product: All three of these units are simple, inexpensive and dependable. Program the times, fill the pill compartments and the dispenser does the rest. The units are lockable, so it makes accidental double dosing virtually impossible.

The Automatic Medications PLUS eliminates the fear of not knowing whether a loved one has taken their medications or not by calling distant caregivers and posting the info on a secure Internet web site. And the dispenser does not eliminate the phone jack, you can still have a phone next to it by plugging it into the jack on the unit.

The Medications Dispenser is designed to help avert attempts by patients to double dose – take their medications and then, forgetting, take them again.

Though lockable, it is possible to force the top off and access the medications contained inside of the unit. It should be noted that many people with Alzheimer’s disease have the strength and ability to outwit even the most well-designed products. Caregivers should monitor the use of the Medications Dispenser and if there is any attempt or indication that the patient might try to forcefully break into it, they should remove it and provide an alternative means of dispensing medications.
