Each compartment is adapted to be filled with a liquid medication dosage for subsequent dispensing. An eighth reminder compartment us provided having a form factor similar in shape and including a visual reminder indicia adapted to provide a reminder to refill liquid medication doses. The seven containment compartments and one reminder compartment are removably connected to allow for cleaning and refilling/reuse. The labeled liquid medication dispenser pre-measures dosages, tracks the status of a medication regime and serves as a reminder as to the date and time of a next dose. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
