MedCenterMonthly Medication Organizer for Drawer or Lock Box with 31 Pill Boxes and 4 Daily compartments by (Extra Large)

Fits my meds & vitamins.

So the first thing is I do think that this is a bit expensive, but with that said these are the qualities that I love:*It's easy to grab daily meds on the go and stick in my bag.*I also like that it has 4 compartments per day, this is important because not all meds can be taken together because of possible interactions or certain meds are taken multiple times per day*I like how I can see from a glance that my pill organizer will have to be filled soon because of the red vs green labeling and this allows me to plan ahead.I've had this kind of pill organizer from this same company in the regular size and yes after a couple of years the numbers do fade and wear off, but I have experienced this with other planners as well.The larger compartments allow for larger pills like multi vitamins, fish oil... If you take a lot of pills and they aren't all small the larger pill organizer would be a better choice so you aren't trying to make them all fit via stacking pills in each compartment.Some of the compartments are a little difficult to open, but after a while it gets a little looser with use and works well.I usually start looking to possibly replace this same organizer after about 5-6 years because of faded paint or a few compartments are a little loose when I snap them closed.Hope this information helps.

I had to use a screwdriver!!! to pop open the first few compartments I tried to fill. Packed the whole thing up and sent it back. Go to your local craft store and buy 2 in x 4 in Ziploc-type baggies, a roll of masking tape and a Sharpie marker. Put the pills in the baggies and write the date/time they need to be taken on the masking tape and stick the tape on the appropriate baggies. Baggies are now reusable as you take the old tape off and throw it away after taking that dose, write a new date/time on another piece of tape and refill the baggies. Who can't open a Ziploc???

Either my brother or I need to fill my dad’s containers for the aides to help him remember his meds. It’s a two hour job so it’s so much easier to fill a month than a week, especially since we don’t live there.This time I got the larger size and it’s perfect for all his meds. The last set lasted five years but were too small. I must say that it does take a few uses before the lids open easily so someone with arthritis might have trouble until they have been used a few times. The writing will eventually wear off, especially if you don’t clean the conditioner after each use.Easily seeing when the green side only had a week left and we need to refill it really helps too. The container easily fits in a purse or bag for travel for the day (or longer.) The entire set fits easily on a shelf. If any pills are missed it’s easy to notice. (That happened when my dad didn’t have aides and took them himself and it helped us to know what was going on with his health and which days he was more likely to miss.)I would definitely recommend these.

Went back, I was trying to avoid bottles but I guess maybe in the future.
