Bit OT: Pill organiser

Chris Hogg · 2015-07-01T16:12:34+00:00

My elderly mother, 95, has to take a fair selection of tablets, daily. Her memory's not very good and she does get a bit muddled at times as to what she should take and when, and if she's already taken them. Over the years, I've bought several pill dispensers, the sort that have lots of little lidded compartments for different days of the week, time of day etc. This sort of thing But all that I've bought have the major disadvantage that the individual lids are clipped shut so tightly that she finds it impossible to open them, as she has severe arthritis in her fingers, and her hands are not strong. Some of them even defeat me! Appalling design! Can anyone here recommend a pill dispenser whose lids are very easy to open?

Just have a chat with the pharmacist, I'm sure that most will supply in blister packs. That is how I have mine done, apart from those I take at varying times.
