51 Why shouldn�ft a functional pill container be a decorative item worn as part of a necklace or attached to a key ring? The design of this functional yet aesthetic accessory transforms a pill or lozenge into an integral design feature. Easy to open and close, it is intended for one day�fs supply only of pills. In this way, the phial acts a natural reminder to its user of how many have been taken. In an emergency too, the transparency of the pillbox sends a visual signal to paramedics of the user�fs medical condition, that can be inscribed on the base.
