    Abstract: An apparatus for storage and timed taking of medicaments, in particular birth control pills, has a casing (1), in which a disc (12) is bearingly supported for rotation. The disc (12) has receiving openings (17) for the medicaments to be taken subsequently and is provided on its bottom side with a toothed rim (30) into which a tooth (28) of an interlocking means (25) resiliently engages such that the disc (12) can be rotated in one direction only. When rotating the disc (12) for one pitch of the toothed rim (30), a normally open contact (37) is closed which is inserted into the current circuit of a preprogrammed counter at which the desired moment for taking is adjustable. Upon rotation of the disc (12), one receiving opening (17) after the other is disposed above a dispense opening (19) of an intermediate bottom (9) wherefrom the medicament falls into a receiving compartment (20) from which it can be taken by actuating a rocker (21).
