The lid portion may be comprised of an exterior cover and a bottom ring acting as a single unit. Once inward protrusions on the exterior cover vertically aligns with indentation spaces on the bottom ring of the lid, a specific pressing and then twisting motion may be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication.
