An improved syringe is disclosed. One improved feature is the addition of a timing unit that can be programmed to give the user audio and visual alarm at the end of a preset time countdown. The timing unit can be reversibly attached to a syringe, in some embodiments. This allows the user to quickly and easily swap out the syringe attached to the timing unit. In other embodiments the timing unit is integrated directly onto the syringe. An internal memory unit stores the last time set, allowing for quick repeats of the same time interval. The memory and display also allow the user to enter or select the medicine being taken to prevent confusion. The advantage of this invention is in the increased safety and efficacy of taking liquid medicines.
