The Best Pill Boxes to Get Organized With

I never thought about how many different types of pill boxes there were until I started writing this post. As I started researching the different types of organizers for this post I was amazed. It’s unbelievable how many different types of pill boxes there are! There are many different options out there. So, how do you know which are the best pill boxes for you? How do you know which organizer is going to be the best?

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • How many times a day do you take your pills?
    • There are pill boxes with one available slot per day. Some organizers have up to four slots.
  • How many pills do you take each day and what size are they?
    • You will need containers that are extra large if you take a lot of pills. This also applies if your pills are quite large.
    • Tip – look for boxes that mention fish oil pills. Fish oil pills are large. The manufacturer is pointing out that these large pills will fit in this box.
  • Can’t remember when to take your pills?
    • Consider a box with a reminder alarm.
  • Do you need to take your pills with you?
    • Some have detachable pods that you can remove and take with you.
  • Do you have toddlers or an older person with dementia living with you?
    • Then you will want a case that locks.
  • Do you need something to keep a week’s supply at home?
  • How about a cute pill box to slip in your purse or pocket when you are on the run?

So many things to think about! I’ve tried to help you out by separating what I found into different categories.

Let’s Take a Look at the Available Options

Weekly Pill Boxes

No matter how many times per day you take pills, there is a weekly pill box organizer to accommodate you. Personally I use the weekly pill boxes and fill 3 or 4 of them at a time. Filling my pill boxes is not one of my favorite tasks to do so I like to get as many done as I can at one time. That way I only have to do it once a month or so. This saves me a ton of time and energy. Using the weekly pill boxes gives me the option of how many I want to do at a time. However, you may prefer to do a month a time. Keep scrolling to see those. 🙂

Monthly Pill Organizers

A monthly pill organizer will save you a ton of time and keep you organized for a full four weeks. If you get your prescriptions filled on a monthly basis like I do, a monthly pill organizer will help you visually see when it is getting time to refill. They are available in boxes that hold two times a day or three.

Electronic Pill Boxes with Alarms

If you or a loved one have trouble remembering when to take your pills, these electronic pill boxes can help a lot. They offer assistance to make sure you don’t forget. They come with alarms to keep you on track. An alarm will sound to remind you every time it is time to take your pills. Very handy!

Pill Boxes That Lock

If you have rheumatoid arthritis, then you may have pills that you don’t want anyone else getting into. These locking pill boxes are designed to deter a toddler. They may also deter a person with dementia from getting into the pill bottle or box. The alarm adds an extra layer of protection to the child safety cap. This feature ensures it is convenient for you to access them. At the same time, it slows down people who shouldn’t access them.

Keep in mind that none of these products are going to be strong enough to keep out someone who really wants in there. In the event you have someone living with you or visiting that could be abusing drugs, then you need to keep your prescriptions under lock and key in something like a household safe where only you and one other person you trust know the combination.

Keychain Pill Container

Don’t like carrying a purse? Or are you a guy who needs to take pills with you to take during the day? The perfect solution is to put your pills on your keychain! There is a wide variety of options. You can choose a tiny container that holds just two aspirins. Alternatively, select one that is super sturdy to keep your pills secure. There is even a choice that will allow you to put it on your keyring or wear as a necklace.
