This holds a ton and was super helpful when I had to take all my fertility supplements. No problem with keeping shut and very easy to open.
I ordered the small med packer and at first I thought "theres no way my pills are fitting in here" it is actually surprisingly roomy and I had no problem fitting all my pills with a surplus of space. Its compact but has very deep storage. It was not difficult to open the containers and none of the containers opened when they should not have. So far I am very happy.
I will update as needed
The small size is great for travel or not taking up too much space in a backpack /purse. The structure is that there are 7 containers, divided into AM and PM which cannot be taken apart, but each of the 7 days may be snapped out, thus for a day trip you could just pack the day and sane space in the purse.
The lids are different colors for AM (blue) and PM (purple) which snap shut securely in my experience, I have had no pill dumping in my backpack. . Each (AM or PM) compartment is approximately 1/2" wide, 1 inch long, and 1" deep, but there is a slight downward d taper of the compartment such that at the bottom, where the lid snaps shut, the depths is 1/2". While plastic, the lids seem like they will last awhile. The daily compartment can be removed by pushing on the daily container using the holes in the bottom of the foundation / tray, depending on the size of your finger you may need to use a pen, but they snap out easily, but on the other hand, stay secure.
The number of pills you can put in a AM/PM compartment is of course dependent on the pill size, but I can fit 9 (not 10) generic 500 mg acetaminophen tablets in a compartment, which are about 3/16" wide and 10/16th " long and 4/16" thick; each compartment is about 0.25cubic in (Volume = 1.0×0.5×0.5 = 0.25 inches^3) .
The days are printed on the base of the unit where the 7 AM/PM compartments snap in, in the sequence Sunday through Saturday. These are in ink but can be removed with a fingernail and an alcohol pad; for example if you want a different start day conceptually you could remove and use a fine tip permanent marker (or label printer) and adjust the daily sequence. The days are also labeled by Braille, plastic bumps, which cannot be removed unless you sandpaper them off.
Overall very please, nice quality that I think will last, fits well in my travel/day packs, and for me fits my daily pill needs.
I like this pill box to hold my supplements and medicines. It has a sturdy construction, and the convenience of popping individual days out to stick in your pocket or purse when you're heading out. As far as size, it of course just depends on how much stuff you have to take. I put two medium sized round pills plus two large capsules and another small capsule in each compartment and they fit fine with a little room to spare. It's a great, handy case for organizing and remembering what to take.
A pill box is just that, a pill box, until you get this set of 7 pill boxes (one for each day) that are joined by a special locking tray to hold them all together nicely.
This pill box has large containers which are curved at the retrieval end to allow easy removal of pills and tablets, the only downside to this design is it's not curved enough! they got the right concept but it's not executed strong enough.
This pill box is actually cleverly 7 individual pill boxes for each day that can be popped out and tossed in your bag for a flight to hawaii or simply taken to your bedroom for night medication at the bedside.
The large containers are more than enough for my medication and supplements, and additional medications (Antibiotics and the like) are easily added.
The only downside that this faces and seems like every pill box in the world is the lettering on the transparent lids wears off over time.
I have had two of these boxes, my old one was a yellow - blue color scheme. I preferred that color scheme to this color scheme as this color scheme is more muted and subtle so you have to pay attention to the letters on the lid for AM and PM. Which is not great because as said above the lettering will war off over time. but for 16 dollars this is a relatively inexpensive box that does a great job.
I had my old one since a year ago and would still have it if I didn't lose one of the pill boxes.

Description
Ezy Dose Weekly AM/PM Travel Pill Planner (Small)
Great pill case! I have this for my vitamins so they are spread out from the morning and afternoon. The individual day boxes actually pop out of the tray so you can take a day or two of "medication" with you when you are working or traveling. It also serves as a reminder of what you are not taking and I have to say I have not been doing very well but will get better with this little guy. Below is a picture of on of the pop out pill boxes.
So... I just got it today. Here's the breakdown:
Pros: They pop-out separately and easily, but not too easily that they're just falling out. The tops snap off easily, but once again, not too easily that they just pop open randomly.
Cons: For some reason I'm getting a lot of fuzz, dust, and hair sticking to the sides - kind of gross. The individual cases are super slippery, and i keep dropping them. Not fun when the lid is open and pills fly everywhere. The containers are deep which is good for holding a good amount of pills, but then makes it hard for grabbing pills out one by one, basically you'll need to pour them out into your hand. They are difficult to fill only because the lids don't open up far, they partially open and it's frustrating.
overall it's a very sleek, convenient product- but there are some things that could be tweaked
I’ve used this organizer for five months and have been very satisfied except for one issue. When it arrived, the Saturday morning door was a little looser than the rest. I thought I could fix it or be gentle enough with it so it wouldn’t be a problem. I should have returned right away because now the door won’t even shut without popping back open. I have to hold it down when turning the case over or my Sat pills scatter on the floor. Will likely purchase a new one because the small size still fits all my pills and stows easily in my small bedside drawer. I also like being able to take individual days out of the pack for short trips. I wish the sides were curved to make getting the pills out easier, but I don’t mind turning it over to get them out when all the doors stay shut. *Test all of your doors for a solid latch during the return period!*
Trying to get my husband to start taking vitamins has been a challenge. I love this new set of vitamin containers. He can see easily which set he needs to take - am or pm and we can keep better track of what he forgot to take. He can also slip out a few days of vitamins to take when he travels. I love that it came in a 2 pack as our biggest problem was having the next week filled when he needed it. I fill my vitamin containers a month at a time so doing it weekly drove me crazy. Now I can fill his empty week, anytime during the next week, so it's ready when he needs it. This big size is perfect for what he needs - it holds 6 large pills plus a gummy stuffed in each compartment. The price on these is GREAT!!! I bought several 1 week organizers at a $1 store that were crap and I threw them away, checked on more at another discount store and they were over $4 each for a 1 week organizer, and then bought several 1 week organizers at a large chain drug store and paid $3.19 for each. I decided to return them and pay the extra to try these. They were delivered in record time, filled, and now ready for my husband. I'm VERY HAPPY!!! Now to just get him in the habit of taking them.
These are just sooo perfect!! I purchased two of these. I’m sooo thankful that y’all sent me two different colors! This allows me to make all of my daughter’s medications for the whole week. All of her morning dosages go in one week/one color— then her evening dosages go in another week/another color.
The beautiful part about these containers is that I can take out just one morning and one evening dose at a time and either place them on the kitchen counter for the day, or slip one into my purse as we are walking out the door. And the rest of the weeks stay safely hidden away in the back of the house.
Before these lovely “pop out” containers, I was transferring the morning and evening medications twice daily into completely separate containers and sometimes a third container if we were leaving the house. Now, once I make the meds (put them in the correct days and morning and evening which is really kind of a zen thing once you get into it), I’m so happy to know I won’t have to be moving the actual pills out of the containers again until they go into my daughter’ mouth!!
So many steps have been saved!! That means more time for me to draw flowers!!!!! And more time for me to watercolor and play with my art supplies and write with my ink joy pens in my art journals.... because that is the fun stuff!!!!! (read my review about the book, “In Bloom”, if you love flowers and drawing! xoxoxoxo)
THANKyou sooo much for these pill holders!!! Every person that is giving medications to a loved one could benefit from these!! And they hold a LOT of large pills too! My daughter takes two large fish oil capsules plus multiple other large medications and it all fits. I’ve had trouble finding large enough containers before. Not this time. I do think you will be happy with this.
Oh I was also thinking— even if you had the same color, or needed say three medication times a day, I was planning on writing in a black sharpie AM and PM on each one. You would have plenty of room to do that. You could also write NOON or numbers. Whatever your system may be.
Hope this has helped and you find these work for you. I know it’s silly to get sooo excited about pill containers, right?? But life is all about the little things, you know??? If the little things go smoother then the big things that bump don’t bump as big... or something like that!!! Haha!! Hugs!
