safety cap

Twist-resistant pill cover

A safety cap is a lid designed to prevent accidental opening, especially by children.

Prescription medications and household chemicals typically come with safety caps that require pushing down while turning, or squeezing specific points to release: I struggled with the safety cap on the aspirin bottle.

Also called a childproof cap.
