One of the world's greatest inventions (along with the microwave bacon cooker) is the divided plastic pill container. I was going to say "pill box" but there are different meanings for that phrase. It comes in a variety of configurations, but my favorites are the single daily dose boxes that hold a week's worth of pills. I have one in the kitchen for morning meds and one in my bathroom for nighttime pills. There is a third one for pain medication so I can keep track of how many of those I've downed during a day.
I load them once a week. Then I can see whether I need to order prescription refills or stock up on any supplements in plenty of time before they run out. Recently I did forget to re-order my sleeping medication and realized it on a Saturday night at bedtime. Thank goodness CVS is open 24 hours!
By looking at the container(s) I can tell if I've taken my daily doses--great for those of us who get short term memory losses.
My containers are fairly large to accomodate multi-vitamin pills, calcium plus D tablets of a size that would choke a horse, plus fish oil capsules in addition to my smaller prescribed medicines. I won't bother listing the other supplements I take hopefully to make up for an inadequate diet or improve some condition or other in some small way.
What I haven't been able to find is some pill to safely counteract my craving for sweets and other fattening foods. Believe me, my pill containers would be full of those!
