I was diagnosed with severe coronary artery disease four months ago and went from taking Tylenol and a multivitamin to a boatload of daily meds. Fortunately everything I take is prescribed once or twice every day, not three times or more a day, so I went on a search for a med organizer with an AM/PM. I was putting my pills in little baggies but would forget if I took a dose when out of my regular routine. I decided on this pill organizer because it had a whole month’s worth of containers and I like to dispense my meds for as long of a period as possible since I’m a bit on the busy side and travel often. I’ve attached a couple photos so you can see about how many pills it holds. I take one giant horse pill that really fills up the box, so I moved it from night time to morning when I take fewer (and smaller) pills. Now I can get the lids on easily. When I was experimenting with finding an easy way to open them, I discovered the lids slide out. (See photos.) Taking the lids off made these super easy to fill, although I have to pay attention to put the morning meds in the same half of the containers and to put the lids on accurately. The dates on the container help me keep track as I put the morning pills in the side with the date preprinted on it. The lids sliding off made this pill container genius and I am thoroughly delighted with my purchase. I can take the pills with me easily and keep track of whether or not I’ve taken my doses. I’ll be going on a trip with them over the next two weeks and will know better about how secure the lids are during transport. They seem secure so far. I’ll update by Jan 2018 if they prove otherwise. On the whole, this organizer has been a great help to me and well worth the money. All my dates were printed properly unlike other reviewers and the extra one is nice to keep a dose in my purse just in case I forget to take it at home. The colors are cheerful and, for now, the container size is perfect.
This organizer has saved me from making any more mistakes of not taking a pill or taking the wrong one at the wrong time. I almost didn't purchase because of one reviewer saying the were hard to open. Well, they are if you don't know how to open them. You must squeeze inward under where the lid opens, then lift the lid, it will open up easily. I was doing the wrong thing by trying to pry the lid open by just lifting it. My husband, who is an engineer, saw the problem right away. He showed me the squeezing part and wella, all good! So keep that in mind. Squeeze!!
I have a good many pills to take every day, and regular organizers just weren't cutting it! I've been using this one for about 3 weeks, and I LOVE IT! It's easy to load, and you can grab the little box that you need for each day and drop it in your purse or back pocket! After trying 4 or 5 different pill sorters, I'm finally taking my medication alot more regularly than I used too with this well made gadget!
This thing is great! It makes remembering medicine incredibly easy. It's great to take when I'm traveling because I can take just the days I need. It also has an extra slot with a :-) on it. I keep some back up meds in that one.
I am on a confusing 28 day chemo pill cycle and was very concerned when I found out that my medications change depending on what day of the week it is and I have a combination of 5 medications I take all together. I will need to take these pills for 2 years and didn't know what "pill box" would work best for me. When I saw this one I continued searching and kept coming back to it, finally I purchased it and I am very happy, it works well for my needs. Each box snaps shut and I can take the box or boxes that I need when I travel and they do not open in my suitcase. For emergency purposes, I can take a few extra days with me instead of taking the whole week or if I'm going to be gone longer than a week I am able to take just the amount of days I need for my trip. It was worth the money and I don't think I'll have the problem as I have had in the past with previous pill boxes with opening up in my purse, or suit case. Hope this was helpful!

Almost perfect. I bought this for my Dad. We were using a weekly pill box. With this pill box, we can fill in the whole month and forget about it. Each day's pills are in their own little carrier. He can pull out that day's container, put it in his pocket and head out on the town.
Down side? Some of the containers are too loose. They pop open with barely a touch. Others are too tight. Get the tools out to open them. Those will loosen over time so no harm or foul on that point.
Most are perfect and the pros so outweigh the cons. Icing on the cake is that this one month organizer has a smaller footprint than the weekly organizer. My Dad did not think that he would like it when I bought it for him but he quickly found a lot to like.
I bought these because I am bad about forgetting if I took a pill or not and it makes it easier to carry them with me wherever I go. I take 15 pills a day though only 5 are larger pills but there is still more room in each compartment. My one complaint is they don't sit open very well when I am filling them with pills. I finally got around this with some small paper cups (think the type you keep for mouthwash). I line up 8 of them which is one row of the pods, fill the cups with all my am meds, pour them in, repeat for pm meds then repeat for each row.
At first I found this product difficult to use and I was concerned about getting the pouches filled correctly. But I’ve found a way to use this system with confidence. First I stage my meds, morning pills in the front row, night pills in the 2nd row and pills I take both day and night in the 3rd row.
Next I take out all the pill pouches out and line them up in numerical order. I begin laying out the first morning pills, each in front of a pouch until all first morning pills are laid out. Then begin the 2nd pills, laying them in front of the first ones until they are all laid out Continue until all the morning pills are laid out. Check to see that you have all morning pills laid out.
Begin the night pills the same as the morning pills except they need to be placed in back of each pouch ( so you are sure to get them in the correct pouch).
Finally the pills taken both morning and night. Place the morning ones in the front of each pouch and the night ones behind each pouch. When you’ve checked that they are correctly placed put them in the pouch. Because I fill the pouches this way (and ask my husband to check that they’re properly placed) I feel confident that I am taking them correctly.
Opening the pouches... hold it as shown in the photo and pull back.
Works like it should for me. I love that I only have to fill my meds once a month. The compartments close nice and tight which is great if I need to take some in my purse. The only downside is that the compartments are a little on the small side. I only take three pills a day, but I don't think it would work well for people on lots of meds or who take large vitamins. The compartments wouldn't be big enough for more than three large pills.
This is great. I used to forget if I had taken a pill or not, but now I never have to take a pill directly from the bottle. Being able to take only some of the days on vacations is very helpful. The containers easily fit my 4 pills, I expect it could hold 6 or 7 normal sized pills. The individual compartments are pretty snug so I don't really worry about them opening in a suitcase.
