HiDoes your machine sort the pills ? I take different combination 4 times a day and am tired of sorting them each time Thanks

It has compartments into which pills can be placed and a timer to control when pills would be "dispensed" (which means when it spins the compartments so the next one is available). However you need to place the right pill in the right compartment yourself based on the dosing schedule.

There are about 28 compartments that you can sort pills into when filling and set timer for the correct pills and dosage. That would give you about a week of meds in one sorting. I put about five pills into a morning setting dor my mother and they ade large polls and fit well nto one compartment. I really love this dispenser which I purchased to ensure my mother gets her meds on time without taking too many.

I actually bought the pill organizer for my mother. She said that you need to push in the corner tab (Saturday) and at the same time pull out the long plastic piece but careful not to pull it all the way out or you will break it. And fill up with your pills. You will need to do this for each strip. Now to dispense your pills push in the tab and pull out the plastic only upto the pills you need at that time and turn over box to drop into your hand. Hope this helps.

The prior two (2) replies are accurate. I take vitamin supplements using 4 slots daily. I, therefore, empty the pill dispenser into a clear small drinking glass as each dosage slot comes about. After all vitamins are in the glass, I take them all at one time in the morning and then at night when the evening dosage comes about.

I take 5 large capsules, 2 small capsules, and 5 small pills per day. The four compartments hold all of these with room for probably another 4 or 5 small capsules or another 8 to 10 small pills. Hope this helps, and good luck to you.

Depends on how many times a day you need pills dispensed. My mom needs 2 x a day so I can set her up for 2 weeks. If you needed 3 x a day it would be 1 1/2 weeks, 4 x a day would be 1 week. I was disapointed that it said locking, I never got a key to lock it with. Not a problem. :-)

There are 28 compartments. Assuming the daily dose of pills for the 5 medications are small enough to fit into one compartment, and that they are all taken at the same time, 28 days. If some pills need to be taken in the morning and some in the evening (requiring two alarm settings per day), then you would need to refill it every 14 days. In this case, you would load the pill dispenser with morning pills and evening pills alternating in every other compartment, so each time the alarm sounds, the appropriate pills (morning or evening) would come into view. This is the way we use the pill dispenser, so we refill it every 14 days. There are 28 compartments.

Women take it too. Personally, I took one pill and cramped for 24 hours so I threw it away. If you choose to take it, hopefully you'll have a better experience.

I'm not sure why you received the packets. I did too the last time I ordered them for my husband. I think that is the way Kirkland does it, but I'm not certain because today I ordered more and it said I'd get two bottles to make up 192 pills. I also noticed more than one person is selling these pills. You contact the seller to find out why you got the packets. Good luck in your searches. Linda

There is a removable circular tray with many pill locations. It rotates based on the times set so that the pills are accessible in the little door. Works very well.

Sue, call the mfg. company. I did when I lost two of the pill containers (left them in Fla) and they very kindly sent me two more. Great company!Barbrnsrcool@aol.com

Did you get a manual with your pill box? I think all you do is cancel alarms 3 & 4. You would set alarm 1 and 2 and then when it goes to alarm 3 you press button 2 until you see --:--. It should then go to alarm 4 and you would do the same. This way it just skips alarm 3 & 4. Hope this helps. I don't know about you but this pill box has been great for my mom and me! I had my husband drill little holes through the top to make it louder, too.

I would say NO. those pills are too big and the compartment too small to accommodate 9-10 pills. try the 7 Day 2 Compartment.

Easy for me! For larger pills, I shake them out. For smaller pills, I use my pointing finger to slide them out...EASY!!!!

They are easier to take than pills. I must say I have not been satisfied with the results. I will probably switch to another product.

I didnt have that problem. However, I do keep my pills refrigerated as suggested. Maybe that would help.

I have it set to dispense 4 times a day, the largest dosage is 9 pills. One of the slots which contains the 9 pills is a calcium pill which is quite large. I suppose it would vary depending upon the size and shape of the pills. I believe I could get more small round pills in the slot that already contains 9. Most in the slot which contains 9 are round, 2 oblong. I hope that helps.
