This handy pillbox not only has eight seperate compartments to organize all your pills, but it also alerts you when it's time to take each sosage. Four built in countown alarms allow you to program the device to remind you of all your medication needs throughout the day. Or, assign a separate alarm for each member of your family. Best of all, if you're away or in the middle of something important when the timer goes off, it will continue to sound ever 15 minutes until you turn it off. The special day alarm can be set to remind you of a doctor's appointment, to renew a prescription and more. The locking button helps prevent you programmed settings from being accidentally changed.
