I bought a few different pill holders because it is hard to judge the size and quality. This was exactly what I wanted---big enough to hold many pills and solid enough not to tip over. I can sort out 28 days of pills so I have basically a month's supply without having to leave out any of the larger vitamin pills that take up so much space. Too bulky to take on a trip, but nice product.
I like this pill container. i take a lot of pills at different times every day and had a really hard time finding a container that could fit them all, and even then with most others I had to be very careful about how I arranged the pills. With this pill organizer I can just drop the pills in and not have to worry about them fitting properly. The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is that the sections pop open easily and the ink that states the time of day rubs off on my hand.
As the number-- and size-- of meds prescribed to me increased, so did my need for a pill organizer large enough to hold them. I like an organizer with removable sections and finding one that could accommodate my meds was difficult. On the plus side, this one has more than enough room and is still small enough to fit in my purse. The minus side has been stated in many other reviews: it's difficult, if not impossible, to fill it without removing each section; and, it's annoying that the individual boxes open on the wrong side.
It's big, about 9-1/2"x 6-1/2"x 1" deep total dimension. Each compartment is 1-1/4"x 1-1/8"x 1" deep. I like the fact that the daily dose comes out of the white bottom case (there's a hole in the back to push it out). I think the blue color is to protect light sensitive medicines. The letters are embossed not just painted. The letters got erased on my previous pill case and the caps got loose in about 5 months of use and I don't think this will have the same problems looking at the quality of the plastic. I just ordered another one for a 14 days refill cycle. I always update my reviews, so if it is not posted, there's no problems with it. I rely on reviews before I make my purchases, so, I'm just returning the favor.
Purchased for my dad, who takes medication 4 x daily. This is much easier than his last organizer! The last organizer was one solid piece that required flipping over in order to get one dosage out of -- which meant pills always ended up on the floor because the lids would fail or not close completely.
This organizer allows him to take out one day - also convenient for travel, and he has had no pills-everywhere incidents since.
Highly Recommend!

Description
Tabbed compartment doors open easily and snap securely shut
I bought another product with 5 compartments/day described as large. While it was convenient to have 5, the length of the compartment was exactly the same as capsules I take, so they kept getting stuck in the pillbox, hard to fish them out and not enough room for vitamins as well as meds. These boxes are great, large enough for really big pillls/capsules, with enough room that you can easily reach in for something specific. Only drawback is that they dont close very tightly, so problematic for travel. I use a rubberband lengthwise when carrying one in my purse, works fine. And you cant beat the price.
I purchased four of the Apex Medi Trays as my mother has short term memory loss and as her primary caregiver I am responsible to see that she gets her medications. Now I can organize her pills for a month and if I am not available, another family member can take over with no stress.
The daily dose of pills can be taken from the tray to keep things simple and worry free. It really is a huge help as she is on a four times a day schedule.
The individual compartments are large enough to hold a number of pills or vitamins. The only slight drawback is that the compartments open from the left side and at times can be annoying to open.
Overall these trays are a blessing and I can't recommend them highly enough.
I am working with a natural practitioner and take a lot of supplements each day... this tray has simplified my life so much. I fill it weekly (takes about 5 minutes per week to fill), and it has simplified my supplement-taking routine each day, plus reminded me to actually take them with each meal. If I'm out & about for the day, or traveling for a few days, I pop out the days that I need and put them in my purse -- I usually put them in a ziploc, just in case the lids should open while being knocked around in my purse, but so far I haven't had a problem with that. I've had it for a few months now, and am definitely thankful that I invested the money (less than $10!).
I can't add anything specific to what the fine reviews have mentioned, except that I was having such trouble organizing the pills the doc wants me to take, but this device has helped me transform my bad habits and I'm finally taking it all! I can't use any of my old excuses because the day and the week are so clearly layed out, and can go along with me if I need to be out of the house. I can see at the end of the week if I missed anything, kind of like score keeping, and as a result, I only missed one cholesterol pill this last week, and am shooting for zero misses in the week coming up, which I will suitably reward if I make it. With something high cholesterol! You should get this, if you miss pills and make excuses.
This is great! I bought this for a family member who has recently started a prescribed supplement regimen and needs to streamline daily dosing so he isn't slowed down or discouraged by opening and dispensing from several bottles every morning. The individual pill box slots are nice and roomy, perfect for some of the bigger pills to fit in, like magnesium. Rather than using four slots for each day, he will use one slot/day, meaning he can load the box every twenty-eight days. There wasn't a lot of unnecessary packaging on the item, either. A simple shrink wrap and label was so easy to open.
