The Rx Timer Cap is a pill bottle with a digital timer on the cap that shows the amount of time it’s been since you’ve last taken your prescription medication.
If you take medication you know how hard it can be to keep track of your medications. Life is busy and missing a dosage can be detrimental to your health.
This is the perfect tool to help you manage your medicine! The simple timer on the cap works like a stopwatch, counting the time since your medication was last taken, and resetting itself every time the container is opened. If you are like me and worry about your family members and their medications this is a must. My grandparents will be receiving a 10 pack on my next visit and my dad could use a set too!
This easy and simple-to-use healthcare tool helps patients take medication on-time, according to the doctor’s prescription. Roughly 50% of patients don’t take their medications as directed, which leads to more than 125,000 deaths every year in the United States. It also costs close to $300 billion in increased healthcare costs. A significant factor in patients not taking their meds properly is simple forgetfulness. However, patients that use the Timer Cap containers show a 34% improvement in adherence.
The cap is available at various pharmacies throughout the United States. Find one near you or order online at www.rxtimercaps.com
Press Release:
For Immediate Release:
LOS ANGELES (October
24) – The Rx Timer Cap®,
the health industry-recognized simple and easy to use ‘smart cap’ that helps
patients take medication on time according to their doctor’s prescription, has
become embraced by leading national, regional and local pharmacies across the
country. The Rx Timer Cap® is available for
free to many pharmacy customers
nationwide - and is already making a profound difference in their lives and in
the lives of their caretakers.
The Rx Timer Cap® features a
built-in LCD timer that automatically counts the minutes and hours since a
patient last took their medication. This Smart Cap Solution improves dosage
instruction compliance and healthcare outcomes by providing critical feedback
for patients that lets them know how they are doing taking their medication on
time.
As a result of
its success among patients nationwide in the important area of medication
compliance, several health and governmental have cited the Rx Timer Cap® as an
innovative and effective tool in helping reduce overall healthcare costs.
Said Richard Million Burke, Jr., President & Founder of Rx Timer Cap®, LLC “We are extremely pleased by the
unanimous acceptance by pharmacies for the Rx Timer Cap® and their
recognition of our product as a valuable compliance tool that is proven to enhance
patient healthcare outcomes by improving patient medication adherence.”
Rx Timer Cap® activation is automatic
and foolproof since there are no alarms to program, no buttons to press and no
instructions to read. Unlike medication reminders and medication alerts, which
require programming, the mere act of opening and closing the container resets the
automatic patented pill timer.
In an
independent study conducted with the drug Niaspan, patients using the Rx Timer
Cap® experienced a 33.9% increase in compliance with dosage
instructions.
The Rx Timer
Cap® makes it much easier for patients to take their medications as
prescribed by their physicians by automatically keeping track of the interval
between doses. It also acts as a training tool, reinforcing the pharmacist’s
medication adherence counseling and providing daily feedback to patients on how
well they are doing.
The Rx Timer Cap® also increases
safety by preventing prescription overdose which is a common problem
particularly with pain medications. They will also help prevent drug diversion
by alerting patients when someone else has opened their medication, the most
typical example of drug abuse by teenagers.
And while
medication adherence is important for all patients, its importance is
intensified for patients who have complex conditions that require the use of specialty
medications. For these patients, poor medication adherence can lead to
expensive and life-threatening complications and increased mortality.
In addition,
the increased number of seniors on medication dispensed by multiple caregivers
and parents who share in the responsibilities of coordinating the medications
their children are taking makes patient medication adherence management more
difficult and patient engagement and assistance even more important.
“Community
pharmacies are on the front line of healthcare, providing significant touch
points for all patients in terms of access and frequency of interaction.
Patients consider their community pharmacists to be one of their most trusted
healthcare professionals and we could not be more proud to have Rx Timer Cap® play a vital
role in their day to day operations,” added Burke.
About Rx Timer Cap – The Rx Timer Cap®

I am entering for myself, but I would give these to my husband. He has a hard time remembering not only to take his meds, but whether or not he already DID take them! Using the times to remind him would be a huge help!
