[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 31 points 4 months ago (4 children) You have to remember to fill it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) I bought a 4-times-daily 31-day pill case. Thats 124 compartments, plus theres an extra stick because they come in a grid, which I use for travel, for a total of 128. I fill it whenever I get my new bottles, and sure, its kinda big, and I never use all 31 sticks because I only take meds once a day, but it does mean I only have to fill it once per refill (90 days). Thats a level of remembering I can do. Plus if I ever have to swap to twice daily, I have plenty of spares, just working from the other end. Only real downside is you need to re-label them, and if you take meds daily, you need to use two sticks a week, with an empty compartment. Or if 1-month intervals are fine for you, especially if you take meds twice a day anyway, you can just use it as-is :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 months ago 🤷🏼♂️ permalink fedilink source parent [–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago My partner got me one of these pill popper things (amazon link is the best I could find, sorry) that gets around having to fill it myself. Yeah you have to remember to mark the day but it works well for me, was that or one of those timer lids as there were definitely days I missed doses or weren't sure if I took my meds and didn't want to risk double dosing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 point 3 months ago That's easy: go get pills - it's empty - I've just remembered to refill it. permalink fedilink source parent
