Does this lock or have a way to prevent taking doses before their time?

Yes, it locks and works well for other caregivers who stay with my husband.

Yes it does. My mother was taking her meds, then forgetting she took them, take them again. It is wonderful!!!

Yes, it does lock. And works very well. My mother never misses her pills or accidentally takes them twice in the same day.

Yes it can be locked. Worked great for my Alzheimer mother and now use it with care givers to remind them to give the pills.

Yes, it locks. However, because the lock is fairly simple a very determined user could eventually break into the device. I bought two devices, one for my parents and one for my in-laws. Both were skeptical at first, but have since found that the device really helps them stay on schedule. They like it so much that we have no issues with them trying to defeat the device.

yes, you get a key with it to lock it, i have not used it though, and it latches too,,,and you program the time into it, it dispenses the pills according to the times you set it at, and beeps to the dispensing time and the inner slotted table rotates to the opening and you tip the pills into your hands which shuts off the beeping sound, and then beeps according to the time you set it at , rotates to the opening and you tip the pills out , there is no visible pills , after you tip the device over

It locks, but is easy to break into. This is not for someone who might purposely try to take extra meds. Also the cover on this model is clear so contents can easily be seen. Some models have a solid lid, but not this one.

I have not found this feature but would love topic there is a way to lock the setting.

Yes. You can set it to lock after it is opened and many other locking options.

sure, just bring or use aluminum foil or a tin tray- chose a time setting and you're off.

There must be a way to lock it, I don't really remember cuz this was a birthday gift for my friend. But what I feel is this box is quite heavy though it's very tiny! So I won't choose it to contain pills in my purse, cuz I have already carrying lot of stuffs in my bag. Just a advise! Hope it's useful for u! Thank you for asking me!

My husband uses the pill box timer. He set it only once, months ago, and does not need to reset it. However, there is some annoyance, because he needs to take his pill at 9 PM, and the timer peeps (and keeps peeping) at 9 AM as well. Also, the timer does not keep time very accurately.

I don't believe so. The documentation for my lock does not appear to have an option for it *not* to lock automatically...

Hello, Under normal operation, you can open the lock as soon as the correct sequence has been entered. The lock does have a time delay mode that can be programmed if needed. Securitybase.com

there is a switch to lock it,..if you LOCK the timer, no..it won't turn off easily. I use mine every day for lab testing and it's never turned off by accident.

Try taking it with food, adjust your dose until you get used to it. I keep mine in the fridge.

I had a friend who really over did it on dosage - the only side effect was not being able to sleep - Since then I have avoided taking 1000mg prior to bedtime- or in evening, before dinner is fine but maybe not after.

Only that you had it set for a certain time. I did not care for this pill box. I hope you have better luck with it.

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.

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.

No there is not. And each day has four compartments for different times of the day. Nothing keeps the patient from taking to many compartments or days of pills. However, I provided this for my sister and we fill it once a month. She had been at the point where she wasn't taking her medications properly, or at all, and could not cope with the task. This made it simpler and she was able to take her pills on a timely basis. For her it has worked great! She just needed the simplification to enable her to cope with her many pills and has improved greatly.

This system has a key to prevent getting into the pill dispenser. It worked very well for my mother. I currently have one for sale if you would be interested.

I don't think there is an exact answer to this. Sometimes when I want to have a stronger dose I use less water with a heaping tablespoon of Calm. I don't think you can do any harm experimenting and determining what works for you. Good luck!
