A new cap to remind you to take your pills
By Herb WeisbaumWhat do you get when you put a digital timer on a pill bottle? MultimediaYou get what's called the Rx Timer Cap, a cap with a built-in digital timer. It's there to tell you the last time you opened the vial. Whenever you open the lid to take your pills, the timer resets. Close the lid and it starts counting again. Why is this so important? Because many people forget to take their meds and in many cases, the need to be taken every so many hours in order for them to work. Other people can't remember if they took their pills, so they take another just to be safe. That could lead to an dangerous overdose. This cap can help solve both of these problems. Bartell Drugs unveiled these caps on Tuesday. Until Sunday, you'll get this timer cap with all new or transferred prescription filled at any Bartell location. You can also buy the caps for $3.49.
