I don't know of an organizer for different times of the day. I can see how that must be very confusing. All we need is more confusion right? I was thinking to write the times on top of the bottle with a sharpie. Maybe you could color code them on the cap for different times. This is a tricky question. I am sure someone has a better way. Good luck, and if you figure out a way post it for us all to read. Jimmy

I get a pill box from a local $2 shop or pharmacy & can put my weeks tablets in that. The local pharmacy/chemist also sell them & they will also fill them for you if you want them to, hold the scripts & message you when you need them & fill them too, you just go in & sign etc.
I am looking at doing that soon as finding I get confused when I am organising my tablets for the week.
I don't know about 5 times a day but I have mine 4 times a day so I am sure they can help you with 5 times too.
he other option is have a 4 days at a time & additional box that you put the daily one in for the 5th tablet. That might help.

Hope I have given you some ideas & not confused you.

The past week my local pharmacy has text me each time it's time for my meds. It's wonderful and for once I'm on track.. It's an automated system they have- you might see if that's available.
They also have a system where on the first of the month they will package your meds in individual sealed small bags that have the dates on them and it's on a roll in a box... so you just tear of and open what you need.. I haven't done it yet but it would wonderful...
I don't know if any of that is available for you but it's worth asking(I had no idea my small town little rinky dink local town pharmacy had such a thing) lol... If not, maybe they can give you advice..

Hi, I set alarms on my cell phone, it asks to name event, so I put the pill name, frequency also is automatic, sometimes my daughter takes my phone, programs an alarm and the message is on the alarm, like call the Dr, appt tomorrow, trips, payments, etc.

All great ideas. I might use a combination of these. The cell phone alarm thing is something I have been considering is something I will probably incorporate into the organization thing. Thanks all.

A family member has to take pills at different times of day and they have a different pill organizer for each time and they are all different colors. sets an alarm for the ones that aren't taken at meal times...

Hello;
I looked up pill dispensers for you & came across this one Maxi-Pharmadose Plus it has 5/day spots that look lg & it is a weekly one. It has sliding panels so you do not have to have the hand strength to click open each spot,
it does not look like it costs that much.
if you google the name it should come up. or your pharmacy might be able to order it for you.
Also if you have trouble putting the pills in it your pharmacy might be able to fill it for you or they should have blister packs that they could fill with no extra cost. I do find that they are quit big I prefer the doset
hope this helps
good luck
ps if you have trouble remembering to take your pills I used an alarms when I was at home
but there are some pill dispensers that have alarms on them
I watch with an alarm helped me
also a family member or friend could phone you to remind you.
Where I live they have home care people who will phone if you sign up for it.

They do have pill boxes with 4 times a day that last a week. Look at Walgreens or Walmart for them and if you don't find them ask your pharmacist if they have a catalog for them.

Thanks all. I found that organizer. This one is very nice. About $7

The containers are big, hold about 10 pills easily in each one. I take 26 pills a day.

It opens easily too. Has a tab. I got it at walmart.

Here is a picture.

I have a very similar one Tara bough. I found mine at Target. Also a visiting nurse found a pharmacy for me that does blister paks at no cost and delivers,

I am always trying to reduce/eliminate meds so blister pak doesn't work for me - too many changes. So far I have eliminated 3 pills and am on final taper of fourth.

As it turned out NONE of the 4 did anything to help me and getting off was only way I knew for sure.

I use cell alarm also!

Good Luck
