A device for dispensing non-liquid (capsules, pills, or tablets) prescription medication from as many as eight (8) separate compartments is loaded by a pharmacist who sets the time for the medication to be dispensed. At the programmed time, a clock mechanism activates a miniature switch that engages a pin to release a trapdoor allowing the medication to drop thru a flue from the compartment into a collection dish. As the trapdoor closes, a time-delay relay is activated allowing another dosage to drop onto the trapdoor for the next timed dosage release.
