Product Reviews of Apex Pocket Med Pack with 7 Day Tray
Product Review: Very Cute and fun to use!
Summary: 5 Stars
The pill containers are perfect for my needs, the colors are cute. The stand squeaks when pulled across a smooth surface, so I added two pieces of masking tape on each end, that got rid of the issue. I enjoy filling the containers! I am able easily to dump out the pills for one section by placing part of my hand over the other section. Each section is big enough for 3 medium, 1 large, and 1 small pill. Wouldn't work if you take a whole lot of vitamin/supplement size pills!Product Review: Big Enough But Problems
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this pill organizer because I only take pills in the morning and the evening; some of the pills are large so I needed space; and I was trying to speed up the time it took to take my pills.
Positives:
1 - It is large enough to hold all my pills, even the large ones.
2 - It is easy to identify the day and see if the pills have been used.
Negatives:
1 - The lid is heavier than the bottom so when I fill them, the bottom is at an angle and the pills can role out.
2 - There is only one lid covering both of the two sides. Therefore, in the morning I cannot just tip it over into my hand. Since I have to take the pills out with my fingers and the pills are different sizes, the small pills fall out or to the pills on the night side. It also takes away the time advantage I thought I was getting.
3 - It is not very compact.
The negatives are very large for me and I will look for another solution. I do not travel for a day or two so taking the individual pods is not an advantage to me.
Product Review: Has its positives and negatives
Summary: 3 Stars
Alright, I must admit that I am a little bit conflicted about these trays myself. I bought them for my grandmother, and her experience with them was mixed.
Things she liked:
1) She found the boxes easy to hold and open.
2) The individual (separate) boxes were more convenient than a large, all-week box.
3) The brightly-colored tray sat conveniently on a counter, helping to remind her to take her pills.
Things she did not like:
1) The fact that the AM & PM sides of the tray share a common lid meant that opening and pouring the AM pills into her hand really didn't work - it was too hard to keep the PM pills from spilling out at the same time.
2) Bumping the weekly organizer too easily caused the days to fall out.
3) While the product description says that it can "hold up to 25 tablets or pills," capsules quickly fill up the daily trays.
So, that's it, it has its positives and negatives. In general, though, she does like it, and uses it every day for her medications.

Product Review: good, but needs some work.

This is a great little pill pack. It would be nice if each side opened separately. I think it might be harder for older folks to get one side at a time, ( it is for me and I'm 59. Someone with a whole skew of pills twice a day can get them mixed up easily. Also the 7-day tray is very fragile, the slightest bump and all of the days fall off. You have to have it on a sturdy surace and somewhere that you don't have to move it around. But, it's a great idea.Product Review: Pocket Med Pack 7 Day Tray

Very handy. Just insert your meds divided by AM / PM into the individual days which are color coded and you can slip one in your pocket or purse each day to keep them handy.
