Abstract
A cap assembly for a pill bottle to allow dispensing only one or two pills at a time. The cap assembly has an inner cap with a rounded triangular opening and an outer cap with a rounded triangular opening and allows for a pill to be dispensed when both openings are aligned. The inner cap has a mechanism for engaging the bottle and the outer cap has a mechanism for engaging the inner cap. The cap assembly reduces the dispensing area for a pill and prevents spillage. The invention may also have a third cap to provide a child-resistance cap assembly. Alternately, the cap assembly may comprise a removable insert with a triangular opening that fits into a mouth of the pill bottle.
