A pill organiser covering 4 daily doses over one week (labelled in French)Swedish pill organiser, "Dosett".
A pill organiser (or pill organizer), pill container, dosette box, pillcase or pillbox is a multicompartment compliance aid for storing scheduled doses of medications. Pill organisers usually have square-shaped compartments for each day of the week, although other more compact and discreet versions have come to market, including cylindrical and pen-shaped cases.[1][2] Some organisers have sections corresponding to times of the day. Pill organisers are viewed as a way to prevent or reduce medication errors on the part of the patient, though evidence of effectiveness is not strong and they have been linked to medication errors.[3]
The first pill organizer was invented by Phil Cherrin of Cherrin Brothers Corporation in Detroit, Michigan. The brothers patent was filed July 21, 1966, US-3432951-A, and approved on March 18, 1969. This patent for "a compartmented container made of clear plastic for use in dispensing medicinal pills at periodic intervals such as daily on a mistake-proof basis" has been cited as the first, seminal patent for all subsequent pill organizer patent filings.[4] Cherrin Brothers Corporation, a distributor of candy, tobacco and personal care paper products was a pioneer in the design of plastics for packaging consumables that preserved freshness and bundled multi-packs including but not limited to seminal patents for the clear invoice/packing slip envelope used by Fedex/UPS/USPS etc today as well as the adhesive tape dispenser.
