A medication carrier having a front and rear panel includes four vertical columns of apertures in the front panel and a plurality of dispensing apertures in the rear panel aligning with the front panel apertures. An insert with corresponding open based pockets carrying medication which can be seen through the walls of the pockets, is detachably sealed across the open bases of the pockets with a frangible membrane and the insert engages between the front and rear panels with the pockets extending through the apertures in the front panel. The areas of each vertical column of apertures in the panel and hence the volume of the corresponding pockets of the insert vary according to the average amount of medication taken at various time periods for which each vertical column is designated. This allows a standard sized carrier to be used for dispensing varying amounts of medication of various sizes thus reducing the need for larger carriers. Pictorial and written indicia of the various times that the medication should be taken, reduces the risk of the wrong amount and/or type of medication being taken by the patient. |
