The present invention relates to a medication
management system that is simple, reliable and extremely easy to use. It comprises a
label having a plurality of raised tabs that are depressed upon taking a medication to provide a tactile and a visual
record of
medication use. It can be secured to the medication container, and thus is not subject to being misplaced or forgotten. The
system can be integrated with a
pharmacy's computerized pharmaceutical
record and prescription
label printing
system or it can be a stand-alone paste-on
label. Alternatively, it can be used in combination with blister packs to dispense medication while maintaining a
record of use. The label can be in the form of an
overlay, which is placed over a preprinted container or a container having a prescription label. The use of a
pressure sensitive releasable
adhesive permits the removal of the
overlay label in the event that is it necessary to read information on the underlying label. The underlying label is provided with a plurality of raised tabs that correspond to the number of doses to be taken per day and the number of days for which the medication is to be taken.
