A receptacle (100) for containing and dispensing solid medicinal pills directly into the mouth of the user is provided. The receptable comprises a container with a storage chamber (104) leading to an outlet (106) sized to be comfortably inserted between the lips of a user. The outlet (106) is further provided with a displaceable sealing closure (112) having a normally closed position. Actuation by the mouth of the user interacting with said outlet (106) causes displacement of said displaceable sealing closure (112) from said closed position, to enable the dispensing of at least one pill from said chamber (104).
