Meds-Pro 14-Day Double Sided Pill Organizer

This is a brilliant product. I searched everywhere with no luck for something that was multi-week, but only with spaces for 2 doses per day. I thought I would try this and I'm glad that I did. I use the bottom 3 compartments for each of my morning medications, then put all the the night time ones in the top one. That one is labelled "Night", if I get confused. The middle compartments labelled "Afternoon" and "Evening" are not a problem since the bottom one says "Morning" and I take all 3 together. There's plenty of room (I think each compartment could take at least 10 capsules), and the clear front lets me tell at a glance if I've taken that morning's pills. The bottom of each compartment is actually slanted (to make room for the compartments on the flip-side), so once you put the front covers back in place and put it right-side-up, the pills can slide to the front for easy viewing. They can't hide in the back, forcing you to peer in.I'm giving this 5 stars because it has completely turned around things for me, finally getting me into the habit of taking my doses every day. But I do have some minor pet-peeves.1. No, each compartment does NOT have its own cover. Instead, each day has a 4-compartment-long, clear plastic, sliding... door.2. There are notches that you have to slide this through, so you kind of "thread" it back into place. But they grip too strongly and I have to put a little extra effort into sliding them off, making it more like yanking. Maybe in time these will loosen a bit.3. Despite the slanted floors of the compartments, when I try to keep the thing upright for actual disbursement, I usually have to give the thing a little shake to get all the pills to come out. I could lay it on its back, but that would mean fishing for the pills with my fingers, something that the slanted floor actually makes more difficult.4. It takes forever to load the thing up every 2 weeks, but I don't think it would be much different than any other pill dispenser in that respect.5. The "top" of each cover has a grip that helps you "slide" it out. It would otherwise be next to impossible to remove them due to the snug fit. But, that means that you can only slide them in one direction. So when it's time to take my last dose, I have to basically remove the cover. I like to keep the "doors" shut when not in use, so this seems an annoying extra step, but I guess that's my own fault for insisting on closing it up between doses.

Ive only used two other pillboxes that have multiple (more than two) compartments for different times of the day [...] . Ive gone thrugh two of the first in as many years, due to pills breaking and the thin plastic lining in the walgreens pillboxes deteriorating (makes one wonder what those pills do to a persons insides). On the second type linked to, the lids wore off and the compartments were too small to hold my dope anyway.Most of the lower ratings for this Meds-Pro 14-Day Double Sided Pill Organizer complain either about the small size of the compartments, thehard to read labels (morning, noon, evening, night), or the difficulty in using the tabbed covers. These are all legitimate complaints for elderly users, but I am a disabled veteran in my late 40s, and still have dexterity and relatively good eyesight. I take about a dozen capsules, pills and tablets a day of various sizes ranging from prescription pain killers and anti inflammatories and muscle relaxers to supplements like Milk thistle for liver therapy (from all the pain killers and anti inflammatories and muscle relaxers).Its true the labels arent easy to read, however once you figure out and remember the pull tab is over the night compartment, you can orient the box so that labels arent necessary anyway (left to right, 7 columns one for each day of the week, and going down towards the tab are morning, noon eve and night compartments. not difficult to learn)Also nice is only having to load it twice a month, expecially for such a relatively small pill box.

This has saved so much time and confusion organizing medications for my Mom!! I use it for 28 days of meds am one side, pm the other. Have a small additional container for days 29-31. Each compartment is deep and can hold many pills including larger vitamins. At first she was having trouble removing all of them because of the depth, but I showed her how to just pull the tab down from over the targeted compartment and turn it upside down. The tabs are easier to slide up and down than the ones you have to snap open or close especially for arthritic fingers. Also, when I refill monthly it’s much faster to slide the 7 tab covers off each side than open up 31 separate compartments on standard pill boxes. (the monthly organizers) We’ve had it over a year and it’s holding up great, no lids breaking off and having to buy new ones. Also, easier to wash and air dry.
