A medicine dispensing device includes a single injection molded part having a body and a cover pivotally interconnected by an articulation. The body has an annular base and a cylindrical encasement. The cover has a cylindrical portion and an upper dome-shaped portion. The cover is pivotal about the articulation so as to receive the body for axial alignment of the body and the cover.
