pillbox
Small medicine container
A pillbox is a small container for pills, often with compartments for organizing daily doses.
The shape—squat, cylindrical, flat-topped—gives its name to a pillbox hat, a brimless women's hat fashionable in the mid-20th century.
In military usage, a pillbox is a small concrete fortification with gun slits, used as a defensive position.
