Revolving Medicine Center (White)

**Update: 16 months in** I just wanted to update this review since we've now had this organizer for over a year... and it is STILL going strong. I was concerned that maybe the "hinge" of the daily pill containers would begin to weaken and eventually break apart, but there's absolutely no sign of that happening any time soon. My ONLY complaint (which is minor AND patient-specific) is that the individual compartments are somewhat small. Now keep in mind, "small" is relative - I'm able to fit a large multi-vitamin, another "horse pill", three capsules plus a standard small round pill in a single compartment... but with the addition of new medications this month, I'm definitely wishing for a slightly larger compartment. LOL I believe there is still ample room for the majority of people's needs - never had any trouble fitting all of my husband's pills in his compartments. The 'lazy susan' has held up very well, even with a rambunctious cat TWICE knocking it off a table and onto a tile floor. No visible or functional damage at all. And it's because we were considering buying a second one (owing to the addition of some new meds for me that need to be taken on a slightly different schedule) that I decided to update this review. It speaks well of the quality of this item that it was the first option I thought of when it came time to figure out my new med schedule.*****Original Review*****My husband and I are both on several different medications, and we both take pills twice a day. We have used many different styles of multi-pill/multi-dose dispensers, trying to find a solution which fit our needs well. This turned out to be it.We're using one unit for both of our meds, and to do that required some slight but simple modifications of the product. Armed with a pack of sticky labels and a marker, I went through and stuck labels on each of the four compartments for each day. They are labeled "BA/RA/BP/RP" respectively. (Him AM, Me AM, Him PM, Me PM). I sit down once each month and dole out his morning/evening pills and my morning/evening pills. Using one unit like this has the added benefit of allowing each of us to tell easily - when we go to take our own meds - if the other has remembered to take theirs. For two sometimes forgetful people, that's been great!I also went through and put a label on the outside of each slot - Sunday through Saturday, with three left blank. I did this because, first thing in the morning, neither of us is thinking clearly - "Is today May 7th or May 8th?" But we can usually remember that it's Monday or Saturday! It's just another visual clue to let us ensure we're taking the right meds on the right day - since I have one pill I take only once a week, that's especially useful.This has worked out extremely well for us - neither of us has missed a dose since we began using this product, though we've both benefited from the other being able to tell at a glance if we've taken our meds already!As others have noted, the top and bottom do not rotate independently of each other. We haven't found that to be problematic for us. If we have any complaints, it's that the top recessed well space isn't actually wide enough to accommodate medium to larger bottles of Ibuprofen and our multi-vitamins. It's a minor thing, however, and really pales in comparison to the positives.Opening and closing the pill holders the first time can be a bit awkward - they're tight to open, tight to snap shut, But after setting up the first month, we never again found any trouble with that, so I think it's just a tightness that comes from them being brand new.We're very happy with this item... it's serving our needs perfectly.

Perfect concept great idea so easy to use so easy to organize. I wish I had seen this earlier unfortunately I only had it for a month before my mom passed away. Price was right a lot cheaper than it was in a medical store.

My husband and I bought one for each of us and love them. We fill the container once monthly and find we do not miss our meds nearly as often as we use to. They are so convenient. If you are in a hurry, just grab the day's pill box and go. When you come back home, just put the empty box back. The storage on top is very convenient. It reduces the amount of bottles you have to shuffle through to get your daily meds and vitamins. I like the convenience of 4 opening compartments in each day's pill box and often put my vitamins in the 2nd and 3rd empty compartments since I do not take meds in the late morning or afternoon. The pill containers have 4 so that my evening meds are right there too. It is great for traveling too. I never can remember if I took them or not and now this dispenser keeps me informed at a glance. We love it. Great quality and well worth the small investment.

This has been very helpful for organizing my moms pills on a monthly basis. I used to worry that she would not take her medication, everyday, at the right time. I go to her house at the end of every month and we make a fun night out of it! She has told me several times that it is so nice to not worry about making sure that she is taking everything she is supposed to. She is still active and likes to go out and about shopping and lunch with friends. She likes being able to grab her one day compartment and throw it in her purse to take along with her. The only problem with that is that she has misplaced a few of the daily compartments and I cannot get replacements for them. The dates on the side wear off easily. We just wrote them in with a sharpie. All in all, I highly recommend this. Going to shop around for other ideas to replace the missing days.

I bought this for my grandfather. Previously, he had one single one-week organizer, one double one-week organizer, and he opened bottles individually for his bedtime pills. My grandmother had to get them all out every week and refill, it was always the chore she dreaded most.With this organizer, I now fill up one month at a time for them. It takes me about as long to do the whole month as it used to take her to do a week. I was worried it might be cumbersome to only fill up one day at a time instead of doing all the breakfast then all the noon pills, etc., but it wasn’t bad at all. My grandfather lays the day he’s on in front of the organizer and at the end of the day, he puts that day’s box back and sets the next day’s out.It fits in their cabinet just right. The tall 3-month pill bottles were too tall for the top shelf but they perfectly on the bottom shelf behind the pill boxes. They couldn’t be happier with this new system. It’s ideal for those helping aging parents & grandparents.

I absolutely love this thing (so does my family). I am 36 years old with Epilepsy, been dealing with it for 25+ years. If you know of anyone with this then you understand how horrible our memories are. There have been so many times when I have forgotten to take it or taken it twice. My families all time favorite "I didnt realize it was time to order more" I have had that happen and of course pharmacy was always closed. However about 2 years ago my husband found this and since having it my medicine is always ordered a week before I run out, I have not double dosed myself and have only forgotten it a couple of times. This has been a lifesaver for me,and the family lol. I am having to order another one because I have lost a couple of days. So like others my only complaint is that you cant order individual days. It was definately worth his money. I would definately refer this to everyone.
