I've been through SEVERAL pill box organizers and this one is THE best! It's unfair to rate it low as some have done here simply because the compartments may not be big enough for their individual pills, but each compartment (7 in each organizer) holds several capsules/tablets (3-4) in addition to round pills. I have 4 capsules/tablets plus 3 round pills in each of my compartments. They are easy to fill, the tops stay open while you fill the compartments. I love the size of these organizers, they are slim and they don't take up a whole lot of room on your countertop. If you're away for the day you simply take out that day's removable section and drop it in your purse or pocket. Nice quality too! The awesome extra touch of the spring in each compartment is superb, making it that much easier for each compartment to be removed. I also love the fact that you get TWO organizers and can prepare 2 weeks' worth of meds at one time. I can't say enough about how much I love these pill organizers! Thank you SO much for a simply wonderful product! :) Read more
I was glad you have found these on Amazon because I’ve been looking for a while. They make it very easy to manage your medication each one holds a seven day supply so I bought two of them. When I finish, what’s in the one container it gives me the opportunity to continue taking my medication without having to stop and sort everything out again, making sure that I always have my medication at the ready.

My husband loves these because he can take just the individual day with him when he needs too. Very good quality too. Read more
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's and needs to take 4 doses of Parkinson's meds every day. The compartments in these pill cases are small and can't handle very many or very large pills, but they are just the perfect size for my husband's Parkinson pills. We love the fact that each day of the week is a separate pill case, so we can easily grab a day's worth of pills to take with us if we are going to be away for the day. I have taken away one star, because as some people have stated, the lettering begins to wear off the containers very quickly as soon as you start using them. Sadly this is true with many of the different pill cases we have tried over the years, but there is an easy fix. As soon as I purchase this type of pill box, I immediately brush some clear nail polish over the lettering before we begin using the pill boxes. Once the nail polish dries it is barely noticeable, and the lettering doesn't wear off. It is probably a good idea to freshen up the polish every so often. This is a nice, little set and I would recommend it if you only take a few small pills. Read more
I love these pill organizers...that's definitely a weird thing to say. I find them easy to use and I enjoy the different colored daily boxes. I load them up on Sunday nights and I'm set for the week. Here's my system - I pull out the boxes for each day, open all 4 compartments for the day, place the open & empty boxes in a shallow box top on my coffee table, and fill them with my daily drugs. I take a lot of medications and have a complex dosing schedule; these daily boxes with their 4 different compartments help me to manage my complex medication schedule. For example I have a medication that I take daily; I have two different dosages of the med and I alternate the dosage each day. I don't need to remember which dosage I took yesterday because I set it up once a week and ensure that the dosages are distributed throughout the week. As there is an odd number of days in a week I try to make sure that I alternate the 7th day each time I fill up for the week. Sometimes I end up with a few extra pills from one of the dosages at the end of the month. I just add them to the new bottle when it's refilled and put an "X" on that bottle. This way I know to use that dosage for the 7th day. In the end it's not a huge problem for me; for someone else it might be more serious. When you are filling the daily boxes with your medication make sure that you are working on a flat and level surface. You also want to be sure that you are set up so if you miss putting a pill in the compartment or if one of the boxes tip over, spilling the pills already in that day's compartments, you don't have pills rolling onto the floor. This is why I put the boxes for each day in a shallow box top, like the lid to a clothing gift box. This is especially important if you have kids or pets. I almost learned this the hard way when I missed the compartment and a pill rolled onto the floor. Thankfully I was faster than my dog; he thought I was dropping treats. :( With my schedule of filling the boxes on Sunday evenings I ensure that I am set for the upcoming week. I pick up prescriptions at different times in the month so I have to fill the daily boxes once a week. If all of your prescriptions for the month are picked up, or delivered, on the same day then you can set up your medication for the whole month with 4 of these weekly caddies! Below is how I break out my daily meds, hopefully you find it helpful: I have medication that I have to take in the morning without food; I also have an ADHD med that I need to be working in my system before I wake up and need to be functional. I put these pills in the first compartment of the day labeled "morn". Before I go to sleep at night I pull out the next day's pill box, make sure that the water bottle next to my bed is full, and set my 1st alarm for 2 hours before I actually need to wake up...or at least be somewhat functional. When that alarm goes off I don't even need to look at the pill box because I know that my early morning pills are in the compartment on the far left. If the box is facing the wrong way I won't be able to open the compartment so I'm confident that I'm not taking the wrong meds; I just flip it around. I take the meds I need, grab a few sips of water, and go back to sleep until my next alarm goes off. I'm so versed and confident in my process that most mornings I don't even take the sleep mask off of my eyes when I take the early morning meds. The second compartment is for my other morning meds...even though it's labeled "noon". I take these just before I leave the house. By this point in the morning I've either already eaten breakfast or I'm grabbing something in 30-45 minutes at the cafeteria, on the way into the office. I use the third compartment labeled "eve" for meds that I need throughout the day; I have a little change purse that I put them in when I take the morning pills, just before leaving the house. I also have an alarm set to remind me to take them at specific times of the day. The last compartment labeled "bed" holds the pills I take in the evening and the pills I take at bedtime. Currently, I need to take two pills in the evening, generally when I get home from work. I also have a few pills that I need to take as I'm heading to bed so they all go in that last compartment. I dump the entire contents of this compartment out into my hand, grab the 2 pills I need to take early in the evening, and pop the rest back into the compartment. I really wish that I didn't need all of these pills and I'm working with my medical team to try to lessen the number I need to keep me alive. For now this is the easiest way of making sure that I'm keeping up on my medications and taking them as prescribed. This system also ensures that I take my medications every day. Before I found these containers I might skip a certain time of day or the full day altogether because it seemed like a daunting chore; a chore that I resented. I noticed that the lettering on the main caddy and the box for each day were beginning to wear off, which annoyed me. I ended up using clear nail polish and putting a few coats over the lettering. I applied a coat on each day's lettering and let it dry in front of a fan; applying 3 coats total. I also did this to the main caddy that holds each day's box of pills. Read more
I travel quite a bit, and I take meds in the AM and PM, so this container with 4 dividers per day, I can use it to store 2 weeks of meds. Not the smallest, but because it holds 2 weeks (for me), it's perfect. Read more
