Hi, Does anyone know of a good pill dispenser maybe on that can be taken apart and used for travelling? Because on days out I have to take all my bottles and packets with me

I ve seen a few in my local chemist but wondering which is the best? Ive 21 tablets a day to take so its one that has the divided days in it that I need.

There are all kinds of pill trays etc around, your chemist should have a good variety, mine stocks nine different kinds. I find mine useful, and I intend to use it full-time now, rather than just for holidays. I find I do get into the occasional muddle with everything :roll: so doing that should stop that happening! DD
The others before me have said what I was going to say....so....all I can now say is.....I hope you find one soon.
B**ts is another place you could try

I bought five from the poung shop - yes £1 each. When I get anew supply of meds I fill all my boxes as my memory is crap. This way I can see at a glance if I have taken them and when I need a new suppoy of anything. These boxes have removable days and have four sections for each day. I also bought One strip of one section per day, I find that usefull if for example I need to take more bulky tabs once per day.
Hope you find what you are looking for xxx
If you find it difficult to get out to the pharmacy to collect the pills then this is an excellent service.
Uncle was 71yrs and a bit dottery and this was in Scotland and was a free service.
Worth bearing in mind.

My gran used to get a dosset box made up by the pharmicist and they would also arrange any prescription renewals as well so we didn't need to phone for prescriptions. This was also in Scotland don't know if things are different where you are.

Just thought I would mention if I was going away for a day I would take that day's supply and also the next day that means if your journey home is delayed for any reason you have the next days meds which you do not have to worry about.
The ones Im using now I got off ebay cost a couple of quid ( lot cheaper than searching for these ones on online chemists) but they are the sliding ones and not the opening ones which are soooo much easier to use when you have bad hands. Wouldnt say there ideal for travelling jiggling about in suitcases but ive transported mine and have had no probs
Heres where I got it

Have you any idea why? I ask because I'm sure someone wrote something similar about methotrexate (which I take) recently. I've never been told this officially, my own methotrexate is always delivered in a little pill bottle and, when travelling, I always pop one into a small pill case.
My mtx has no such warning with it and only says do not store above 25degreesC. If ur not supposed to take them out it will say on the leaflet. I think some people are advised to keep them in original containers to avoid confusion as to what they are because they are particularly nasty stuff but look like several other pills and that u don't want to getconfused with anything else
If you are travelling at all I.e going through customs it is best to keep meds in original containers so you don't get accused of anything nefarious :roll:
Hope that helps
