How difficult are the individual pill containers to open?

That is kind of a relative question; However, I have arthritis in my hands and fingers and I do not have a problem opening the individual pill container. There is a lip on each one and because each one is larger they open quite easily and, as long as the lid is pressed down til you hear the click, the medication will not fall out. I hope this helps.

I did not find them difficult to open at all. There is enough space between the rows to access the individual containers.

I don't find it difficult. I just open all the compartments and put one in each all the way around and then the next etc...until I have them all in and then I close each compartment one by one. Done. My problem is I do have a lot and so I do have to put them in in a certain way to make sure I get them all in, which I figured out from trial and error at first. I would try one first to make sure it closes before you do them all and find out it won't close. If you don't have many it won't be an issue.

each compartment opens independent of the others. You can open the morning compartment and get those pills by turning the box over into your hand. You can also just pull out one or two days if you are staying over night somewhere, so you don't have to pack a week of pills.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

I don't think it's supposed to be that hard to open. Mine is very easy to open with little to no resistance at all.

I have never open the pills. I sense it would be okay opening and ingesting considering the contents inside is what is needed. However the pill encased helps to release the contents slower rather than faster. You might want to do some research on the web.

At first, they are a little stiff but the more you open them, the easier they are. You have to tug on the lid with your finger tips and kind of peel them back. I personally love them.

Yes, however, an older person may have trouble getting the lid off without spilling the pills. The lid fits fairly snug.

No, they are pretty easy to open. All you have to do is twist, and it's pretty easy.

They are not easy to open, and you can travel with it, but you do have to make sure they are securely snapped. I've almost lost a few things by not double checking.

Depends on how little. I would say easier to open then to close but still a bit tough. really depends on the individual.

I guess it depends on how hard you push them down in the bottle. But, I think they are easy to remove. I have no trouble at all.

they are sometimes a little tricky to open but once you get the hang of it at first it's not too terribly bad I take a lot of meds they hold everything I need them to. one of my only complaints would be that they are difficult to open at first but I do not regret buying this unit it has been very helpful

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

Never tried to take them apart, but if you could figure out how to open it, it doesn't seem like the kind of product that would actually be hard to change.

It isn't difficult to open, but I guess that could depend on whether or not he has arthritis. You just grasp the plastic handle and slide it to uncover the compartment you want to retrieve medication from.
