Abstract

A magnetic pill dispenser consisting of a plurality of modular pill cases configured to be magnetically attachable to one another to form an arbitrary array tailored to a user's schedule of administrating medications, or to an external ferromagnetic surface, such as a refrigerator door. Each pill case has two substantially planar parallell walls and a plurality of boundary walls one of which is openable. In the preferred embodiment, two strips of permanent magnet and ferromagnetic material configured to mateably engage each other are formed respectively on the two parallel walls so that any two cases can be magnetically connected thereby. Similar magnetic strips may be formed on one or two boundary walls for further magnetic attachment to a ferromagnetic external surface or other pill cases. On the openable wall of each case, a day-of-the-week indicator and a time-of-day indicator are imprinted for facilitating orderly, scheduled administration of medication.
