Buyer Guide to Choose the Best Travel Pill Organizers
Materials
All pillboxes are made of plastic that does not contain harmful substances, therefore absolutely healthy for the transport of medicines.
The downside of the coin is that most of the models on sale will not be particularly resistant or long-lasting. Now let’s see which are the best pillboxes of the year for value for money.
This model was made of plastic for food use, like many other pill holders on the market. The material in question complies with the regulations on materials containing food, but on the other hand, it affects the resistance of the product.
Plastic does not guarantee long durability. Moreover, it does not prove solid enough to withstand knocks or falls. This forces you to be careful when using the pillbox, especially if you plan to carry it often with you.
On the other hand, plastic facilitates the opening of the various compartments, as a minimum of force and pressure will be enough to access the pills, ideal for older adults. If you are not convinced, and you need a monthly pillbox, you can find different models in our guide to choosing the best pillbox.
Practical Division
The pillbox design is extremely intuitive and also adapts perfectly to the needs of older people who can find the right pills without effort. The ‘tower’ look is divided into drawers for the seven days of the week written on each one.
Each drawer also has four different compartments that divide the pills into the morning, noon, evening, and night. In this way, by pulling out the drawer, you can organize the pills precisely, and then take them at the right time without making a mistake.
The drawers are removable both from the top and from the bottom, to facilitate access and organize the pillbox according to your needs.
The tower pillbox comes in a compact size that allows you to take it wherever you go without taking up too much space. You can put it in your suitcase, bag, or backpack to always have your dose of pills ready depending on the day of the week or time.
The drawers can be removed from the tower so that they can be carried individually with you, to reduce the overall dimensions further. At home, you can keep it on a piece of furniture and move it without the least effort.
Types of Pillboxes
Weekly Pillbox
As the name suggests, these models were designed to divide the pills every week. They usually consist of a base containing seven compartments, each with the name or abbreviation of the day of the week.
These, inside them, can have four mini-compartments divided by the various phases of the day or only two, for the morning and the evening. The choice depends solely on your needs and how many pills you need to take.
Usually, the compartments of the various models can be removed to extract the pills more easily and to be able to take them with you when you leave the house or go on a trip.
Monthly Pillbox
The monthly pillbox is the larger version of the weekly one as it allows you to store and divide the pills for the 31 days of the month.
Unlike the weekly pillbox, however, the monthly ones only have two mini-compartments for the daily division of the tablets. Therefore they are not suitable for those who have to follow special care or need to take many supplements throughout the day.
Monthly pill holders are more useful in fact for those who do not have many medicines to take per day, but still want to keep track of those taken without the risk of making a mistake. As with the weekly pillbox, even the monthly compartments can be easily removed and carried wherever you go.
Electric Pillboxes
Particularly useful for older people with senile dementia or Alzheimer’s, electric pillboxes are slightly more expensive as they have automated systems for dispensing pills and a digital timer clock.
By setting the timer, it will be possible to activate acoustic and luminous warnings that will deactivate once the device has been tilted to and the correct pill has been taken.
The electric pillboxes are divided by the days of the month and by two phases of the day (morning \ evening), they also have a lid with a key lock useful to prevent older adults from accessing the wrong tablets.
How to Best Use a Pill Box?
The pillbox is very easy to use, just have a little attention and know-how to organize the number of tablets to be taken.
If you have purchased a weekly model, you will find seven different large compartments in which to insert your pills. To do this, you will have to remove them from the base and open them, inserting the tablets inside them at various stages of the day.
For example, if you have to take pills in the morning on Tuesday, then you will have to take out the compartment with Tuesday wrote (which can be abbreviated in Mar or written in English Tuesday \ Tue), open it and then insert the tablets into the mini-compartment with writing ‘morning’ (matt. or ‘morning’ in case the pillbox has English writing).
In this way, on Tuesday morning, you will immediately find your pills ready for taking. The same thing you will have to do for the other days and phases of the day. The monthly pillboxes work the same way, and only they will have multiple compartments for the days of the month.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is to fill the compartment of the day every time you finish taking the pills before going to sleep or every Sunday evening. This way, you will always find the pillbox supplied and divided into days correctly.
In the case of older people, you will have to follow them for the first few days and remember to have the pillbox always supplied.
If you want to carry a compartment with you, simply remove it from the pillbox. If you are used to traveling, we suggest you opt for a model with compact dimensions, easy to put in your bag or backpack.
Electric models are the most difficult to use because their configuration is often not intuitive. First of all, we advise you to check the instruction manual of the electric pillbox and try to understand all the different functions. Afterward, you will have to try to set the timer and the automatic distribution of the pills.
Once you press the button to set the timer, you will have to select the time at which the alarm will sound. In some cases, it will be possible to set one for both morning and evening, useful if you need to take pills throughout the day.
To do a test, set the timer to five or ten minutes, so you can immediately see if you have done everything correctly. If the audible and visual alarm goes off, then it will mean that the setting has been successful.
Now by tilting the pillbox, you can either deactivate the alarm or take the pill inserted on the right day of the week. Keep in mind that each electric model can have different functions, and consequently, the settings may vary.
