Pillmate Dispenser Twice Daily 7 Day

Replacement for previous purchase, which I've had for 10 years

Ideal product -- if the hinges and plastic covers continue to work . I take 4 capsules in the morning and two in the evening, and it is the correct size for this dosage. Any more and it would not be large enough .

I bought this for my Mum so I can pre pack her week's tablets in one go. The compartments can be a little stiff at first but soon get easier though they are nice and firm so the tablets don't all fall out if she needs to tip it up. It does exactly what I needed it to and we are very pleased with it. Great value for money too.

Please note that the picture is of an earlier version of this. I bought this as the twice/day was ideal for me, allowing me to dispense a week's meds and them fit easily in the fridge door (which one of my tablets requires). Similarly, was discrete if taking away on holiday as opaque cover/about glass cases size. It was sturdy/lasted well until one of hinges broke. Happy with it I went to buy what I thought was a direct replacement. The current version has a transparent lid without a pill/allergy list to fit in there. Similar sliding covers for each compartment but... In picture of older version, moulding of bottom half was solid and lid clipped shut. In current version lid just closes; cover for the 14 pill departments opens/is the part that clips. However...there are v narrow spaces at each end which if you drop a pill in, can only get out with tweezers or tipping whole things upside down & starting again (no narrow end on old version & if something dropped in wrong compartment could slide plastic covers over all but that day). The clip plastic cover/hinge means that you can only dispense tablets out of foil into morning compartment from edge of foil - if your meds are loose or in 3 rows you'll have to dispense middle row into your hand and then into dosset box. As a result, no longer suitable for dispensing meds for someone else - only for yourself. Certainly no paid carer could reliably fill this without risk of touching the medication. It still works for me (although don't like the fact lid not secure or opaque) but I think is now much more limited in use than previous design.

Excellent

Ideal it's really good pleased with it

very good pill organiser. I found however the top flap seems a bit pointless, but for the elderly folk among us, they are able to fill in the details of their medicines (but there is only about 6 lines). Durable, but if you have tablets or capsules on the larger side of things, such as: -Calcichew - you would struggle to fit other tablets with them -Adcal or Calceos - they are too big to fit even on their own -Gabapentin or pregabalin capsules the larger strengths may not fit at all. such as gabapentin 600 or 800mg tabs. -if you take more then two carbocisteine (mucodyne) per slot you would also run out of room -Metformin would be ok as long as no more than two at a time but not if you take the long oval shaped ones (Glucophage) as especially the 1000mg (1g) ones are too big -paracetamol/co-codamols would fit fine

This is a really well made product but not good if you have to put more than 4 or 5 pills in each slot as they aren't very big. I use these for my dogs medication as one has 4 pills in the morning and two in the evening, really well made and the sliding top on the pill slots is great.

Ist bereits meine zweite. Die andere hat jetzt nach etlichen Jahren ausgedient. Aber nur äußerlich. Es ist nicht kaputt gegangen. Ist für meine Zwecke optimal. Gibt wenige mit nur morgens und abends.
