I love the large compartments and the fact that you can take the individual days with you to the table. I have found them very easy to fill and use. I take about 9 supplements just in the morning, of which several are the large soft gels, and they fit just fine. This is the best organizer I have found.
We generally need to purchase medicine organizers annually as they tend to fall apart after daily use and the wording rubs off quickly. There are a number of very similar versions of this product on amazon that we have acquired in the past and they have arrived poorly molded and poorly shipped. First observation was that the product is professionally packaged for shipping. Each unit is bubbled wrapped and then inserted into a seal plastic bag. The units are then packed in sealed air bags in the shipping box. This might seem like TMI on the packaging, but after acquiring a number of medicine organizers over the years and seeing them arrive damaged, shipping is a big deal for us. Daily sleeves snap in nicely and nice large round poke-through holes on the bottom make removing the sleeves easy. Sleeve printing is large making it easy to read the days and associated times. TIP: To make the writing on the sleeves last longer, coat them with clear nail polish. The trays are large and in our case, easily holds 32 pills for the week with room to spare. Braille is also imprinted on the sleeves.
ENORMOUS pill case. Nobody could possibly take more pills than would fit in this thing. I take about 32 pills and supplements a day but I totally have enough room to double or triple that. Before you gasp at 32 pills - a lot of them are medicinal food/supplements. But those do tend to be the larger pills.
The doors are not very robust. Very flimsy plastic which I'm not sure will last very long. Also the trays dont seem to lock into place in the holder very well. So if you need them to stay securely in there I would go for something else. The lids stay closed for the most part - but there have been a few accidents when they opened on me when I put it in my bag.
I am taking several different vitamins and supplements and get tired of having to continuously open each bottle of supplements and then remember which one/ones I had in my hand as many of them are the same shape and size. I have owned smaller containers that were good but were way too small to hold but two or three pills. With this, I have fit seven large tablets into one slot at a time. I like the fact that each day is removable so if I am traveling I only have to take those days worth with me. I also like the bedtime slot as some supplements are best taken in the evening and I will be able to remember if I took it or not!
I've been using this for about 3 weeks and haven't seen anything to make me believe it is junk or that the lids are going to break off. It seems well made and it's a huge benefit to having the 4 compartments per day.
I used to have all my bottles on the table and counted them out for each day. It's so much easier to do a week at a time and then you can store your bottles in a ziplock bag to keep the moisture out.
I also keep this in a huge ziplock bag with some silica gel, because humidity can work on your gelcaps and make stuff stick together or start to dissolve if humidity is high enough.

Outstanding product.... I HIGHLY suggest it. I will be ordering another for sure.
I love being able to completely removed the rows to add the pills too.
When trying to figure out HOW TO REMOVE THEM here is insight for you from me...
Turn over the Pill Unit and look at the bottom closely... you will see a large CIRCLE/HOLE... that is where you will PUSH GENTLY until the row POPS OUT. What I did was locate the hole... place finger on it, and turn the case upright, then push up while holding the rest of the unit with my other hand. It will be stiff at first because they are new, and must be worked in... but in time... they will pop out easier. Be patient. You'll get it!
Works as it should. I initially bought this pill organizer in blue for my husband and a different brand in white for myself. I didn't want either of us to get confused about which pills where our own. After using them awhile, I realized his pills were easier to get out than mine because one side in each section in his had a rounded bottom. When I saw this organizer available in purple I ordered it for myself and ditched the white one fron another brand. I'm so happy I did. It keeps my medications organized and my pills are easy to take out of it.
After browsing & trying all the pill organizers at local stores, I finally found this which met all my requirements. Other products were either too small or had lids that were flimsy. I take several supplements throughout the day, this one is great for preparing an entire week with the convenience of taking an individual tray on the go for each day. The lids close tight and securely, I carry them around in my backpack, jacket/shorts pocket. The individual compartments are large enough for several supplements, for reference this is what goes into one of my compartments: 1 fish oil, 3 CLA, 1 Niacin, 1 B complex.
Needed a larger container for all the supplements I take. I have an afternoon pill and bedtime medication also, so I love the different labels for the same day. I was having to use two smaller containers and needing a third when I decided to find a large one. Each container is deep enough to hold 3 big fish oil supplements plus 5000 units of vitamin D. I could still fit a few more if needed. Easy to remove the whole day's worth of pills and take with you in a purse or bag.
This pill case is pretty handy! As a whole, it's larger than I expected but that's because the days of the week are singular cases that sit inside a larger tray/base. Here comes the handy part: for each day, you just pop-out the pill case as needed, so you can put it in the smallest pocket of your purse and go. If you take a ton of meds a day or lots of vitamins like me, all at meal periods or at bedtime, this case is perfectly marked for each time of the day/night. I love that! I sent a pic to my grandma to see if she'd like one too because I think it's perfect for any age.
