Meticap | Medication Timing Cap
Adherence Made Safer & Easier
 
Meticap is the simplest solution to ensure you take your medication right on time, every time. The simplicity and gadgetry of Meticap “engages” patients toward medication adherence. Meticap is now available after years of research and development and six issued patents.
 
 

“Social determinants of health and overall life chaos play a role in patients reasons for non-adherence along with the personal resources they have available to improve their adherence behavior.”
Todd Ruppar, PhD, RN - CDC Public Health Grand Rounds

 
 
How It Works

1. Take.

Remove the 1-Clic® cap as usual, take your medications, and replace the cap.

2. Twist.

Twist the top of the dial to the left to index to the next day.

3. Turn.

Turn the vial itself to the right to advance the hours. You're now ready for your next dosage!

Meticap Reduces the Risk of Accidental Overdose

We’re all functioning at a mile-a-minute pace, so it’s easy to lose track of medication doses – even on things as innocent as supplements and over the counter medications, like NSAIDs. Erring on the side of caution and skipping your next dose of an anti-inflammatory medication because you may have already taken it might not cause much harm: you’ll probably be a little more achy than you wanted. What if you take too much Advil®? Brace yourself for that upset stomach. That’s why Meticap is a great solution to keep track of any medications that can fit into a 1-Clic® vial.

You need Meticap if you find yourself asking things like…

  • “Can I overdose on Advil®?
  • “Did I take my vitamin today?”
  • “How soon can I take another dose of Tylenol®?”
  • “How much Aleve® can I take?”
  • “Is it possible to take too much of my ADHD medication?”
  • “What’s the maximum dose of ibuprofen for one day?”

Skip the mental arithmetic and the frantic Googling. Meticap helps you manage your medications during the best of times when you’re busy juggling life and at the worse of times when you’re recovering from surgery or stuck in bed with the flu and you’re too fuzzy-headed to remember what day it is, let alone when your next dose of DayQuil® is due to keep that fever down.

Meticap helps reduce your risk of an unintentional medication overdose by helping you see when your last dose taken was or when it’s time to take the next dose. It’s one small, low-tech method to help keep you safe, keep you taking your medications until complete (hello, antibiotics!), and reduce confusion among caretakers of children, the elderly, and beloved pets who need medication management.

 
Meticap Features

Fits On Your Existing 1-Clic® Pill Vial
 
The threads in the Meticap line up with your 1-Clic® vial lid for a perfect fit. No tools or special adapters required! Simply twist Meticap onto your existing cap to create the assembly. A helpful tip is to squeeze the view-window and the opposite side while tightening the Meticap onto the 1-Clic® cap threads.
 
NOTE: The 1-Clic® vial and cap (shown in the photo) is used by many pharmacies around the world including Walgreens®. This vial and cap design is the new industry standard. Meticap does not fit onto the old style of push-and-turn prescription vial caps. 





Low-Tech Solution
 
Meticap is a no beeps, no bulbs, solution to medication timing. It doesn't need batteries, timers or phone application connections to function. One less distraction and continued pill safety.
 
“The trick with alarms is that after about a week, a lot of people tend to get tired of things beeping at them, and they stop using the alarms. And so that's where integrating things into daily habits and routines becomes more important”  - Todd Ruppar, PhD, RN- CDC Public Health Grand Rounds
 
Medication non-adherence results in countless unnecessary negative and sometimes dangerous health outcomes, including rehospitalizations and worse. It also imposes a nearly $300 billion annual cost on the healthcare system in the U.S.



Keep Multiple Medications Isolated & Organized
 
Keep your pills with the original bottle and prescription label, reducing confusion associated with traditional pill organizers.
 
Plus, prevent cross contamination of medications, making for easy medication changes.



Reversible Dosage Indicator Ring
 
Choose whether you want to mark the last time you took your dose or the time the next dose is to be taken. Simply flip the red ring upside-down to change modes.
 
"Last Dose Taken" - Ideal for medications such as painkillers or anxiety medications to avoid overdoses when the patient is distracted or mentally impaired.
 
"Next Dose" - Ideal for medications like antibiotics, statins, antiplatelets, beta blockers to keep on track for full recovery.
