 Very useful ! October 22, 2008
Not much to say. They do what you expect and allow one to more easily manage multiple medications and or nutritional supplement regimens.
Having 4 times in a day for 7 days works nicely!
Maybe s/b a 5 star but it has to be outstanding for that for me!
 Best Pill Container September 25, 2008
I am so glad you had this product. My husband and I take pills at different times throughout the day and this pill box makes it so much easier to keep track of when to take them. We also travel quite a bit and now we can take our day pills with us to have when needed instead of forgetting them or mixing them up. I highly recommend this product to everyone and definitely the "price was right". Thank you.

This is exactly the right size for me for the amount of medications I ever expect to take. At first, I had trouble getting the compartments to open.
The problem is that by pressing your finger or thumb against the side of the box to slide up to catch the edge of the lid where it sticks out for opening, you are pressing in on the side keeping the little projection on the lid that holds it shut from popping out of the little depression inside that it needs to pop out of. Sorry that I can't describe that better.
The manufacturer tries to guide you around this by having an arrow and the word "LIFT" imprinted on the _corner_ of the lid to direct you away from putting pressure on the middle of the side and blocking your own efforts. If you limit your contact to the end or corner of the lifting tab it works fine.
Some "hot rodding" suggestions for those of you who want to improve your pill cases. First, when it's time to reload, I just twist the entire four compartment section to get all four to open at once. Then I make sure all the lids are exactly straight up. That way, when I put it back in the base, its lids don't block the next compartments over. With all 28 compartments open I can load up a week surprisingly fast.
Additional loading suggestions. Have any simple med/large pair of tweezers handy. Pills sometimes bounce out of one compartment to another.
Fastest loading, I've found, is to either get a small round bottom cup or use the palm of your hand. Pour a little more than the amount of pills you expect to need into it. Then hold that next to each compartment as you go by. Going back and forth to piles of pills to the side turns out to be the most time consuming part of the operation. Take the pills to the boxes.
Since I plan for accidents, I put a convenient size rubber band going around the length of each days set. When they are in the storage base, I put it around horizontally just under the lids so it doesn't get in the way of putting the loaded set of boxes back into the base.
When I take the day's set out for bedside or to go with me away from home, I move the rubber band around to cover the open sides of the lids about 6mm/quarter inch in from the open side. This gives a sort of "spring loaded" effect to the lids. If I drop the box on the floor, everything stays inside. But it's easy to hold the lid open against the pressure of the band.
When a day is empty, I leave the band vertical and wedge the box back in the base. That makes it easy to separate the used from the ready to go. (I confuse easy.) If you need to separate some boxes from others, I would suggest coloring the _INSIDE_ of the lids with permanent markers in different colors. That way the colors won't wipe off as easily.
Good luck, three more will let me do a month at a time. I've been wanting this for a long time.

Excellent service, product exactly meets my needs. Strongly recommend, especially for elderly who are taking large sized pills daily.
 Not So Easy to Open January 7, 2008
Three problems with this medication tray: the tabs to open each compartment are TINY and require a good fingernail. I have mild arthritis in my hands and find them hard to operate; advanced arthritis would make this nearly impossible. While it is nice to be able to remove the pills for one day from the tray, the daily containers come out when you do not want them to and are too large to put in your pocket. The overall tray is large; takes up too much space on a bedside table. This is a great organizer for someone who takes a lot of pills and gets confused easily. I prefer the twice-a-day organizer, which is smaller, easier to open and allows me to select pills for the first or second half of a 24-hour period.
