 Excellent, Tough and Portable Product December 2, 2007

As of 2007, after 2 years of testing, I now prefer the large Medi-Chest. Nothing has broken on any of the 5 units and the removable daily case is great for making day trips or going out hunting, fishing canoing, or golfing.
These have met the test! They still snap shut tightly and no compartments have lost their tops due to stress fatigue from opening and closing them.
Just as importantly, I can carry my plethora of cardiac, kidney, prostate and arthritis medications in one daily container when I go golfing, fishing, hunting or canoeing. If a compartment does just happen to open, it sure beats trying to pick up a week's worth of meds from the golf course and put them back in the right compartments!
Meets my need perfectly September 22, 2009

I have been using this medicine chest for 7 or 8 years. I take a plethora of vitamins and supplements, including the big pills like fish oil. I have never had a problem with all my pills fitting. There is a smaller version of this product, which also has removable sections, and my pills would not fit in that one.
Each morning, I pull that day's section and take it to work with me. After a number of years, I noticed that some of the "doors" on my original chest didn't click closed and hold as securely as they did--sometimes a door would pop open and spill in my purse--not a big deal to scoop up 4 or 5 pills. Nevertheless, I purchased another. If I am traveling, I take out the days I don't need and leave the rest in the tray, then put the entire tray in a ziplock bag.
I found the advantage to having 2 units was that I didn't have to fill as often (which I hate to do--not a big deal to most people, just one of those chores I don't like doing). I've considered purchasing a 3rd and probably will at some point.
I cannot find this exact product anywhere but on Amazon. I purchased my original years ago in a drugstore, probably Rite-Aid, but have never found it since. I LOVE the convenience.
Great organizer! November 1, 2008

Great organizer ........ especially beneficial for the elderly, takes the confusion out of medicine taking. I fill this organizer once a week for both my elderly parents. All they have to do is take the days tray out and place at the their place at the table ........ no excuse for missed medication. I actually have two for each of them. That way if something comes up that I can't get there the regular day to fill they have a reserve all ready to go! Of course, to avoid confusion as to which belongs to whom I have clear for my mother and green ones for my father. A must for anyone on several medications.

2009 UPDATE: I am ordering two more of these so we can travel for more than a month at a time without having to stop and refill them.
this helps to keep me independent--after all, a hospital is no place to be sick January 3, 2010

I recently switched to this type of pill organizer because the clear compartments are even easier to see through than the others in my old pill organizer which had a shade of blue. This is a very good pill organizer that comes in quite handy. I have to take six types of prescription medications daily (thank goodness that's down from seven prescription strength medicines a day); and especially at bedtime when I'm tired, believe it or not I sometimes actually forget if I've taken my bedtime pills! This is extremely important for me because I cannot run the risk of taking a double dose of medicine at bedtime; an accidental double overdose of my meds would be quite dangerous. This product allows me to place all of my pills in their individual compartments within the organizer so I won't forget to take any of them during the day!
Although some people are concerned that more than one pill compartment can open too easily when you only want to open just one compartment, that rarely happens to me especially because I leave it lying flat on my night table or bathroom vanity; therefore I never really have to open any one section with so much effort that other compartments would also open and have pills flying out every which way!
So far, thank goodness, I still don't need to use the noontime and the evening pill containers; but if I ever did they would be a great help to me. I'm sure that people who need to take medicine or vitamins at these times of the day will find these containers quite useful. You can also remove a daily case for when you're having a busy day and can't get back home until the evening; that way you won't miss any dosages of the pills you need to take. The daily cases are also labeled, one for each day of the week.
There is one possible negative that I want to caution you about; it's definitely worth mentioning. Some people have to take more than one large pill and/or vitamin at the same time of the day. If this is true in your case, you may want a pill organizer with larger individual compartments than there are in this product. Look at the measurements for the individual compartments (they're right above on this webpage) to determine if the size of the compartments will be large enough for you.
Overall, I highly recommend this pill organizer/dispenser/planner for anyone who wants a safe, reliable way to store up to a week's worth of medicine and/or vitamins. In addition, people can use this to remind themselves of whether or not they took their medicine; and that's extremely important.
