Patterson Medical Weekly Pill Organiser 7 Day 5 Compartments Rainbow

Really good weekly pill organiser and does exactly what I need it to. The layout with 5 compartments per day is very practical and makes it easy to keep everything organised. It feels well made and the removable sections are a great feature. The only small downside is that the lids for each compartment can be a bit stiff and slightly fiddly to open at times. That said, it’s still a very good product overall and I’m happy with it. Easy to use once you get the hang of it, and I’d definitely recommend it!

This came boxed and would make a great present for someone on a lot of medication or someone that has to take regular medication. It's a very good way of ensuring medications are organised and taken at the right time. What a brilliant design! It is made of a strong plastic, the boxes work exceptionally well to replace the days in a system of rotation. I usually leave till the Sunday night and refill for the week again. The individual pill boxes have five sections. Width 2cm x length 3.5cm and depth of each box is 2cm. The first one is slightly larger for more meds - Width 3cm x length 3.5cm, depth 2cm, morning, noon, evening and night and when required. The clear plastic lid glides effortlessly till the last compartment and stops. This is particularly good with people with arthritic hands. To get the meds from the when required section you can slide the other way, once again it stops just to allow access to the when req. meds. You can also slide the lid completely off, It is best to submerge in soapy water to wash before use, making sure it is completely dry before use. I am so pleased that there is something like this available for people that take many medications at various times and have a section for 'when required' meds. As this you don't find on a lot of the usual pill boxes. This has been designed very well. It's clear concise easy to use. I chose the rainbow design so even if there is slight chance of confusion the colours are easy to follow, of the rainbow. 'Brain fog!' You can take the days medication out with you and have your tablets available when they are due and those ones you need to take when required. On the back there is a place that all medication can be written and when it should be taken at what time and if required before or after food. You can photo copy this to make more copies for your box. There is No Braille on this case so would be unsuitable for the blind or poor sighted. If you are anything like me or know someone who has to take many tablets, this would make a fantastic gift. It's brilliant, wished I'd have found this sooner! I would highly recommend this product. I work very hard to do detailed and helpful reviews. If I miss anything please let me know, or if you have a question about the item please ask.

Through no fault of mine or anyone else the fickle hand of fate has dealt me a a set of cards that includes the need to take a variety of medication every day with a depressingly regular routine without which I am left immobile and bed bound. Enter the weekly pill organiser, or dosette box, an aid for parcelling up pills and placing them in a container for dispensing. Of all those I've seen the Anabox is the best one by far although there are a couple of minor drawbacks that I'll come to at the end of the review. The pill organiser consists of seven trays inside a rectangular box that's open at both ends. The box has a clear top that makes it easy to see which days have been taken and therefore when it's due to be refilled. It also displays each day's tray of pills and tablets through a sliding clear plastic front panel on each one so it's easy to see which set of tablets have been taken and if any particular dose has been missed. There are four aspects that put this box ahead of others in my opinion. It's construction, the materials used, its size and it's ease of maintenance and use. The construction of the box puts it ahead of others. The individual trays are strong, rigid and consistent in their size and build and the clear front panels allow one set of tablets to be dispensed in order without risk of accidentally releasing the next set. The same goes for the frame in which these trays sit. In addition it has a clear compartment on the bottom of the box with a preprinted matrix which can be used to record the individual medicines and their doses for each of the slots in the trays. Multiple dosette boxes are also With regard to materials from what I can see it's made entirely of ABS plastic. ABS is a strong and durable material whose big advantage over polystyrene, which is initially very similar to ABS in it's characteristics, is that it is not as susceptible to becoming brittle over time which leads to failure of parts through cracks and breakages. ABS is also highly resistant to being dropped. Indeed I have dropped and knocked this off the bedside table a couple of times now without any signs of damage or any of the trays losing their contents. The size was also a key factor in choosing this box - each compartment can easily hold about a dozen medium sized tablets of capsules (maybe slightly more) - so however many are required at a given time, this box meets the needs of 99.99% of people. The box is also very easy to use and restock with a clear sliding front plate that has the day of the week and four compartments for regular medications and one marked for PRN/as required medicines. There are only two downsides that I can see with this box. Firstly sliding the clear front plate across the trays can be easy on some but initially very stiff on others. This could pose a problem for those who do not have either the strength or dexterity to manipulate a troublesome tray. Secondly because of the way each compartment is exposed in turn, missing one set of tablets (midday for example) makes extracting the following sets (Evening and Night) a bit tricky at times. Other than these minor drawbacks the design does help me immensely in taking medication on time and making sure I know what I've taken and what I haven't.

The Anabox pill organiser is bigger than I expected it to be (this is a good thing). I find having one set colour per day easier than having seven boxes all the same for the week. Several people have said it's not easy to open but if you push down slightly and gently on the slider, it does open easier, plus it does get easier with a bit of use so if you ARE buying this for elderly and/or arthritic hands, fear not - it just needs a bit of use and for them to get the hang of pressing down slightly to open. The extra compartment for PRN or 'as needed' medication is a brilliant idea and I do use it. When all 7 boxes are in the perspex box, you just push down gently on the one at the front and it will lie down, making it easy to slide out. I've given it four stars instead of 5 just because three of the 7 boxes are green (but different shades of green). It would have been better to have one green and a purple and pink, or lilac, instead of three all green. I'm delighted with the pill organiser and wouldn't hesitate to buy another if I needed one. Highly recommended.

Some might be put off as it is slightly more expensive than other alternatives, but I assure you that you get what you pay for. I bought one for my dad as he has MS and takes up to 20 tablets/capsules four times a day. All fit into place perfectly with enough room left over if he has any more to take. The sliding door also enables easy access compared to other products that use a tight latch, which even I found frustrating at times, let alone a 60 year old man! All boxes are nicely labelled and the fact they appear as different colours for different days, not only add to the visual appeal of the product, they also help ensure that my dad doesn't mistake today's medicine for tomorrow's. All in all it's a great product that does what is intended. In fact I wrote this review solely because I bought a second one for my mum who recently went through a heart operation and is on a number of different tablets for life. Pros - Nicely / clearly labelled - Colourful individual boxes for different days of the week - High capacity - 5 compartments ( morning, noon, evening, night, take as required ) - Sliding door for easy access Cons - I wish there was a monthly version ( yes I am that lazy :P )

I liked these more than I thought I would. So I thought Id leave a review in case its helpful to others who are thinking of buying it. First of all, just get it :) 1. If you are taking a handful of pills per day, this will help you. I expected it to help a little bit, time wise. But the real benefit, was in not giving daily time to something (picking out all the pills from the bottles) that was just a depressing reminder of my dependency on them and my bad health. In short: the *psychological* benefit is the real gem, here. I had anticipated that it would be a little depressing to use one of these. Especially in my 40s. But it has the opposite affect. It reduces the time you spend on taking pills. It reduced the attention you give them. And that is priceless. 2. Secondly, this design is good. With too many types of pill organizers to chose from, this is important to know. The cover slides across, it doesn't flip up. No plastic hinges to wear out. Its sturdy, and even a little stiff, but I expect that will wear off with a bit of use. And the little buckets allow for plenty of pills, even those ones that looks the size of horse pills! 3. The extra slot at the end, for tablets to be taken as needed, is a smart practical feature. Also, its placement at the end of the row, means the sliding cover can be slid backwards to access it. In other words, its easy access, and you don't risk tipping out the other tablets for that day when you open it. You'll understand what I mean if you get it. 4. Im ordering a second one, so I can plan 2 weeks at a time. That's how useful I found it. I hope you do to!

Exactly what i needed. Suitable for large pills

When I saw these I thought they were the answer for people setting up important medication. I ordered 3, one for myself. However, I was disappointed with the size of the compartments. The compartments were not big enough for several capsules per day of supplements I take. The makers have not taken into account the size of capsules and the array of supplements some unwell people have to take. Prior to buying, I had missed a daily medication, wondering whether I had taken it or not on certain days, so this product definitely sorts that out. Fiddly to set up a week at a time, I normally do 3 days a time. The containers and the sliders are stiff and take a while to get the hang of. I like the fact you can take a days supply out with you and the top wont come off. If you have to take several meds a day, all is good if they are small tablets or capsules, but in my case some of my supplements look the same but must not be taken within hours of each other, and the quantity I take are too large to fit the small compartments. I think Anabox could make a larger box with larger compartments. I do think there could be a better system when all containers are placed in the drawer, if you move one, all the rest collapse, this needs to be looked at. I think its probably the best Ive seen on the market, but room for improvement, and there should be a bigger version.

Répond tout à fait à mon attente. Ces pilluliers sont très pratiques et contiennent pas mal. Soignée par corticothérapie, j'ai beaucoup de médicaments et antalgiques et tout y tient même avec les gros comprimés de Dafalgan 1000 !! J'ai bénéficié d'un prix intéressant puisque les jours sont écrits en Anglais mais çà ne me dérange nullement. Contrairement à ce que j'ai lu, rien ne s'est cassé à l'utilisation. Je suis ravie !!

Very high quality and I love the look of the rainbow colours. Much better than my old organiser.

Ceravo un contenititore per pastiglie settimanale che unisse praticità, una certa estetica, dimensioni 'giuste' e qualità. Malgrado il prezzo superiore alla media degli altri articoli offerti, questo si è rivelato essere un ottimo acquisto. Alla vista è molto carino, il materiale è ottimo, l'uso molto semplice e comodo, con il coperchio scorrevole che rende facile anche il riempimento settimanale. Le cinque vaschette sono molto capienti, quella del mattino ancora più grande. Pratica quella in più per pastiglie senza orario preciso o 'eventuali'. Ogni giorno ha un colore diverso e chi deve stare fuori casa può comodamente portarlo in borsa senza rischio di aperture accidentali. A voler essere pignoli, l'unico difetto potrebbero essere le scritte in inglese, forse difficoltose per chi legge solo l'italiano, ma anche risolvibile con l'eventuale applicazione di piccole etichette o una traduzione a disposizione per i primi tempi . In conclusione, mi era un po' dispiaciuto spendere il doppio rispetto ad altri articoli, ma mi andava bene per le misure: pochi potevano stare sulla mia mensola in uno spazio limitato. Una volta avutolo sono rimasta pienamente soddisfatta e mi sento di consigliarne l'acquisto

Los compramos para mi padre que ya tiene una edad. Mi madre ya tenía uno igual pero todo en azul. Es una forma ideal para preparar los medicamentos semanalmente. Con una 'tira' diaria independiente con tapa deslizante cada una de ellas con 5 compartimentos separados. Los pastilleros frecuentemente sólo tienen mañana, mediodía y noche y hay muchas personas que fuera de estos horarios también tienen que tomarlos. Cada día está identificado con un color distinto en este modelo arcoiris ,que viene muy bien para que no haya confusiones y es muy alegre. Las 7 'tiras' -una por día-de la semana además de distinto color, tiene impreso el día de la semana y cada compartimento indica mañana, noche etc. Todas las tiras se insertan en la caja dejando en primer lugar el día que correspoda, una vez usado se saca y se mete al final. Si vas a pasar uno o más días fuera también tienes la opción de sólo llevarte los días correspondientes de forma cómoda. Se lava fácilmente y el material es resistente. Lo único es que está en inglés que lo mismo no es cómodo para todo el mundo. Lo volvería a comprar con toda seguridad

Ich finde die Boxen perfekt, sie sind stabil und der Deckel lässt sich gut schieben, stoppt bei Nachts automatisch mit einem kleinen Wiederatand, sodass er nicht runter fällt und man ihn einfädeln muss. Also ideal auch für Ältere mit feinmotorischen Problemen. Um zu den Bedarfsmedikamenten zu kommen, muss man den Deckel in die andere Richtung schieben. ACHTUNG: TEXT IST ENGLISCH!!!! Ich habe die Boxen für mich gekauft, da ich noch jünger bin und nicht die weißen „Oma-Boxen“ wollte. Meine 40 Tabletten, zum Teil große gehen sich alle aus (ich hatte bei anderen das Problem dass ich keinen Platz habe.
