I ordered 2 of these, one for a month worth of my a.m. meds and one for my p.m. ones. I have been searching for a monthly pill minder for ages and finally settled on this one. I'm so glad I did. There are 7 separate pill minders in each box, one for each day of the week, with 4 compartments labeled Week 1 through Week 4. Each day of the week is a different color, which made far more sense to me than some others I considered that had 31 days and a really odd way of seperating their colors. This way of organizing them by day of the week is great if you have a once weekly pill to take. It completely takes any guesswork out of filling a minder with day of the month numbers on each compartment. The plastic is sleek and smooth. It's easy to open the large clear med minder box by just flipping down the green latch on the front edge. This would be great for someone with arthritis or other hand pain/shakiness, since it's easy to open but still secure enough to be confident it's latched shut when you're done with it and it won't spill. The inner pill minders are also easy to open and click shut pretty well. Filling them all with all the compartment lids flipped open at once can be tricky though, since the lids can block the opening of the compartment next to it. I've found it's easiest to fill them if you take each day of the week (4 compartment) minder out of the big box and fill them one weekday minder at a time. This minder set keeps your meds secure, organized and accessible but THEY ARE NOT CHILD PROOF or even child resistant. If you have kids you'll need to keep them locked securely and out of reach. I have a locking, cut resistant medication bag that has a combo lock and fits both of these med boxes, stacked, plus a few supplement bottles. (I included it in my photos.) I have seen bags like it on Amazon and I recommend you order one if you want these pill minders and if you ever have kids in your home. I am absolutely happy with my purchase. I recommend them to anyone like me who gets tired of dispensing meds every day or even every week. (Think of all the free time I'll have now! Hahahah) Read more
This works perfectly if you have multiple pills you need to take a day. The quality is great. This is not a flimsy product! It can definitely take a fall and still stay together. I live that I only have to make up my meds one time for a whole month. It keeps you pills clean and safe even while traveling. I wish the days of the week were all together instead of all the Mondays and Tuesdays together in a line so I could just take a week with me while traveling but other than that it's super convenient and the colors are cute.

I got this to use for myself so I wouldn’t have to open ten bottles every day to take my vitamins and medicines. I love it because it’s bright and colorful and holds a lot of pills. The best part is that it has an outer case that holds the pill boxes. It snaps shut tightly and you can jostle it around a bit without fear. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has dropped a month’s worth of pills or opened a backpack to find a mottled assortment of previously organized medicines. This unit drastically reduces the chance of those things happening. Details: There are seven individual pill boxes inside one big case. Each unit is a unique color and includes four pill sections. Each pill section is roughly 1.125” x .875”. They’re labeled by week but could also be used for AM/PM or other designations. They sit loosely inside the larger case. The large case is hinged and snaps shut with a latch on the front. It has a water resistant gasket that is tight when the case is latched shut. The case is about 9” x 5.5”. It holds a good amount of pills. I have 5 otc vitamins and 5 prescription medicines of varying size pills and they all fit in one section. The unit is well made and sturdy. I’ve been using it for several months and everything still closes tightly. This case does require dexterity to use. It’s not arthritis friendly in that sense. It’s about as difficult as an average $1 pill holder, which isn’t easy for some people. So please keep that in mind. I would suggest this for a young person who might find themselves needing pill organization. It never feels good to need more and more meds but this case lightens the mood and is wonderfully functional. It’s one of my best Amazon finds. Read more
I travel the world for work and suitcases get beat up and tossed around. All of my previous pill cases have failed and one of the first things I had to do when arriving after a long flight was find and sort pills a total pain! The pill capacity is good, it's well built with quality plastic. I don't worry about it being in a bathroom in a hotel with the steam at all because it is completely sealed well. the labeling has not worn at all due to the outer box. I will hold up to a month unless you do AM/PM which I now do but it will cover me for 2 weeks which is usually enough. Read more
Plenty of room for pills. Well made and sturdy. Read more
The colros are bright but translucent enough that I can see the next empty container. The compartment size holds an auto-injector needle and 5 to 7 pills in each day, with room to spare. It lost a star because the containers are columns, up and down. When I pull out a container, it is all of the Mondays, then all Tuesdays and so on. This causes two problems. I have to alternate my dosages every other day, so I have to load the days inside the box. I normally pull out of the box a week at a time. I will use this pillbox at home, but not when I travel. This 7-column design also makes it awkward to travel with the pill box the way I travel. When I travel, I prefer to do my pills by the week, 4 rows of Sunday to Saturday. I remove one row, which is a week, and fit my insulin pen into the pill box perfectly. I can't do that with the column tray because I'd be removing all the Mondays and my insulin pen is also too tall to fit that direction. So, I ordered the weekly version of this same brand and am 5-star happy with that one. This one will work at home well enough though. Layout is daily columns not weekly rows - solid box snap.
