Abstract: A container particularly for medicaments is disclosed. The container includes an alarm which is actuated at a predetermined time each day if the container is not opened during a predetermined time interval prior to said predetermined time. The time interval can be twenty four hours. If the container is opened during said time interval, the alarm is disabled and only actuated at the end of the succeeding time interval. If the alarm is actuated because the container has not been opened during the preceding time interval, opening of the container disables the alarm.
