Pill organizer

Pill organisers usually have square-shaped compartments for each day of the week, although other more compact and discreet versions have come to market, including cylindrical and pen-shaped cases.

[4] Cherrin Brothers Corporation, a distributor of candy, tobacco and personal care paper products was a pioneer in the design of plastics for packaging consumables that preserved freshness and bundled multi-packs including but not limited to seminal patents for the clear invoice/packing slip envelope used by Fedex/UPS/USPS etc today as well as the adhesive tape dispenser.

[5][6] Pill organisers are useful for all types of patients, including the elderly, those who have memory deficiencies, and those taking multiple medications as an aid in remembering to take proper doses of their medications in compliance with their doctor's recommended dose.

They allow a patient to know whether or not they have taken a particular dose of their medication; if a pill still remains in its compartment, it is apparent that it has not yet been taken, whereas if it is missing, it has already been taken.

[7] Pill organisers often have various features to make them easier for special-needs patients to use, such as color-coding, Braille for the blind, or a locking mechanism to prevent double dosing.
