BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Or frequently prescribed drugs and pharmaceutical preparations for patients based on a time-related or scheduled dispensation, examples of tablets or pills that are prescribed in a peri-regimen. Established doctors include a tablet or pills adapted for oral t-ion use for birth control, to regulate blood pressure, to regulate blood levels, as antibiotics, and to treat a variety of o-, Such long-term regimens are usually temporary for preventive medicine (for example, blood pressure regulation or natural control) or for the treatment of chronic conditions. Which require a relatively long therapy course The amount of drug provided in a preparation The pharmaceutical form in solid form such as a tablet or pill is inherently contoured, so that each tablet contains a fixed amount of dosage and there is little or no confusion as to the amount to be taken. Frequently, if they do not invest, the variability in the The pharmacist admi nistration is attributable to the patient's id ng, forgetfulness and / or confusion as to whether or not he has taken a tablet at the prescribed time and regimen. This problem can be compounded when the dosage has to be repeated daily a number of times or when multiple medications are prescribed or when the medications are to be taken during a long course of therapy that can extend from weeks to years. This problem may be applicable to most of all patients, including those with advanced disease, chronically ill patients (who may be in a weakened state), and active persons who are obliged to take long-term treatment courses such as racepc on or hormone replacement therapy. As a result of the problems of confusion, uncertainty or forgetfulness, a patient can actually take more or less of the prescribed regimen of two drugs that is indicated, thereby altering the course of prescribed treatment. . To ensure maximum effectiveness of the prescribed medication, it is advisable to provide a dispenser that helps the patient adhere to the prescribed time schedule for dosing, either one day, multiple daily doses or two less frequent doses. Tablets and tablet devices are known for dispensing solid form pharmaceutical preparations, such as tablets or pills, according to a time-related sequence. Examples of said tablet dispenser are described in US Pat. No., lfa5, io9, which provides a dispenser1 that allows a user to take a tablet on a prescribed basis, for example, on a daily basis, which has an indicator denoting the days of the week, Description of this patent is incorporated herein by reference. In this device there is no provision available to allow a person to previously set a specific day of the week in which she must take the first designated pill from a series of different pills, from a mot \ that >; -ea simple and efficient. For example, if an indicator mechanism is not adjustable and it is previously established that it is required to take the first pill, of a regimen made of different pills, on a particular day of the week, as on Sunday,,. The user is presided over by the Junes, the user will be at risk for a period of time, from Monday to the following Sunday. A possible solution to this problem is the production of seven different thinkers covering the beginning of the day of the week, however it is impractical. Other patents such as the Patents of the L..U. Nos. 4,915,256, .646, ^ 36 V 4,667,045 describe different pill thinkers that provide a daily indicator that can designate the period in which the < ~ - particular pills and can be fixed previously to start the regimen on any day selected by the user. Although such pill dispensers achieve a convenient purpose of providing any beginning of a prescribed regimen with means to the pills to be dispensed on a given day, these are not entirely practical for different reasons. These devices can be complicated to use or difficult to refill. For example, you can '< ®r difficult to understand and unnatural for a user to turn against dex * - rorotatop or a circular dispenser of pills; a multiple-step sounding, which can be mistakenly out of sequence, could lead to confusion or frustration and / or a non-moving packing, which does not provide a designated initial pill in the starting position The purpose of the invention is to provide a unique design for dispensing tablets that is simple and intuitive to use, easily resurfactable by the patient / consumer and relatively on a trial basis. In addition, the present invention is intended to provide a dispensing system that can provide a prescribed regimen of pills in a manner consistent with an at-grade level of "-onf lance". , providing at the same time a starting characteristic on any day., Additional objects and advantages of the invention are established in part in the description that if and in part will be evident to from the description, or can be learned with the practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention are realized and obtained by means of the devices, combinations and methods particularly established in the attached indications.
