What it is, and who it helps
A weekly pill organiser holds medicines in compartments for each day, often split by morning, noon, evening and night. It helps avoid missed or doubled doses, and lets a family member or nurse fill it once a week so that the routine is simple.
Models with an alarm sound at the right time to remind your parent, and larger boxes suit people with several tablets.
How to choose
- Choose the layout you need: a once-a-day box, or four compartments a day.
- Pick easy-open lids with large print or colour coding, and a design that suits weak fingers.
- Look for a model with a reminder alarm if memory is a problem.
- Check it is sturdy and the compartments are large enough for your parent's tablets.
Using it safely
- Fill it from the original packs, with a current medicine list, and ask the pharmacist to help if unsure.
- Keep it away from damp, heat and children, and do not mix medicines that need separate storage.
- Review the contents with the doctor regularly, since doses change.
Before you buy
Who should fill the organiser?
