ApexLarge 7 Day Weekly Pill Organizer - Weekly Pill Organizer, 4 Times a Day, Easy-Open, Organize Medication or Vitamins

I like the size of the organizer with the exception that it opens left to right instead of right to left which makes it awkward when filling it.

I have a really hard time opening this when filling my mom's prescription trays.She showed me that if you pull the bottom corner it's easier, but I still have a tough time with it. Thankfully, she doesn't and can still use it.I do like that she can pull out the day's tray, then she puts it in upside-down to remember which trays are empty and ready to refill.

I need a helpful organizer for medications for Morning, Noon, Supper, and Bedtime that was easy to handle. I also like the way I can take each day with me in my purse if I go out to eat. I also needed something strong for when I travel for a few day in the car, etc. It has helped me a great deal!

Stores a week of pills.

Please be aware that unlike other pill organizers the cover/lid opens from left to right (preferred for lefties?).Also, covers/lids are a bit tricky to open. I discovered that opening them from the top edge is much easier than the left edge, where it was designed to be opened.

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.

print is large, for those who don't see well (why I purchased it) for my mother. it is definitely sturdy however, they are hard to open and my mom ends up tossing her pills across the room by the time she gets it open and she is going blind so she then cannot find her pills 🙄

Perfect

Sorry to repeat other reviewers but the lid springs open. The manufacturer has had a chance to put this right in the length of time these have been on sale. This is my only negative comment; the rest of the build is good,

Relly pleased with this item .very good quality
