A compliance aid for medication including electronic circuitry to remind the patient when the next dose is due, in which removal of a dose of medicine interrupts individual conductors within the medication package and resets a timer and alarm. The electronic circuitry may be integrally housed within an original medication package or the electronic circuitry may be housed so as to be added to an existing medication package. Additionally, a radio telemetry linkup may be established between some electronic circuitry associated with the medication packaging and other electronic circuitry including the timer and alarm system. The compliance aid may be particularly adapted for use with a medication packaging system conventionally known as a blister package, which is a multi-layered strip packaging technique.
