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.
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.
Product Features:
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.
