Monthly Pill Box

[TvanV]

Do you ever carry the individual day's worth in a purse or pocket? Does it stay closed?

I do take it with me, and have not yet had a problem with it opening.

Since I was in Manhattan today (and there are many Duane Reade/Wallgreens there) I bought the one @DianaCox suggested. It was only $8.50. I'm going to do a week and see how I like it.

Me, too. Every day!

I also use the Med Center and it does fit in my cabinet. The containers do sometimes open but not enough to be troublesome.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the individual holders don't come out. I need those to go into my knapsack. I'm afraid I'm going to have to return it.

I bought this weekly pill sorter and I love it. It fits perfectly in my purse and it stays closed. I just placed an order for 3 more so I can have a month's worth of pills ready to go at a time.

@Butterfly Ooh, they come out!

How big are the wells? I need to fit a lot in each and some are quite large.

I just measured and the wells are 1" x 1 1/8" x 1"

I grabbed my Celebrate multivitamin capsules, which are just a touch under 1" long but otherwise "normal" capsules and I could fit 12 of them in each well.

Thank you @Butterfly

I have never yet tried a monthly. I only take pills twice a day and I will poke around a bit and see what's out there.

I travel a lot, so I am looking at purchasing this one. I like that the pill containers go into a sleeve to avoid accidental opening. The high sides that conceal the contents of the binder are also a plus. The color of the binder is rather basic--I would prefer black. It's a little more expensive, but the reviews are pretty great on it. A big plus is that it is BPA free, which matters to me. I also like that it keeps the pills in a dark space, as light can degrade supplements:

I'm torn between this one and a slightly cheaper one with better reviews. They're expensive, but when you travel a lot, it is worth the extra in some cases.

And...the winner is this one. It's extra large and hides the pills well. I think this is the one I am buying: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGP12M?psc=1

Both look good. I just need to ensure the boxes come out so I can carry just one day's worth at a time. Please let me know if you like it.

I got the MedCentre 30-day one and then the travel pouch version as well for when I go away.
