The tabtime is for my elderly mother who had been getting mixed up with her meds and unfortunately double dosed a few times recently . It’s been a bit difficult for her to come to terms with it , because initially she tried to get the pills earlier than she should.But even though deep down she resents it (or me for setting it up ) she’s getting her correct doses at the right time and is staying safe and protected from double dosing . So I think it’s a great idea . I put the meds in the compartments for each separate dose and set the alarm. When the alarm rings the tab rotate to an open compartment and my mother tips the meds that’s due out . I’m advised the batteries should last approx 6 months for the two alarms set daily but I plan to change them 3 monthly just to be safe .
