MEDCENTER Traveler 7 Day Pill Organizer HSA/FSA, Portable Pill Case, Large Capacity Medication Organizer for Traveling with 4 Daily Compartments, Nylon Pill Container for Travel, Large Size

I found this while looking for a traveling case/cover for the pill organizers I already have (the 2 x 7 Apex weekly). The measurements were about right. When it arrived, I discovered that it is made for 7 daily pill boxes. It has 6 cloth dividers forming 7 little compartments. I didn't want loose pill boxes, so I borrowed my wife's seam ripper and removed the dividers. Now my Apex pill organizer fits like a glove.This thing is very well made. It looks like it's made of that ballistic material they use for luggage (and parachutes). Very tough. The sides have a little elastic for a good fit. The flap has a large Velcro patch for a secure close. Very good quality. It's also nice looking.I was about to order 2-3 more for our longer trips when I decided to send the company an email asking if they might have one without the dividers. I got a very nice reply from someone telling me that they have a new product, the Traveler Pro, coming out this summer and to check their website (medcentersystems).SugarChef makes a great observation. These daily boxes have 4 compartments (morning, noon, evening, night). If you only have pills twice a day, as I do, each case can hold 2 weeks of pills. This is a great idea. It's about 50% more compact than two weekly organizers. On a 2 week trip, I'd only need one case. Two cases would be enough for up to 4 weeks. This review is also on the MedCenter website. They also make a Traveler XL with larger boxes.07/31/10 Update: Just back from a 3.5-week trip. This case worked perfectly. I took four Apex weekly organizers. I put one in the MedCenter Traveler and secured the others with Velcro straps. The one in the case was easier to handle and better protected.08/29/10 Update: I bought a second unit and decided to use it with the dividers. I don't like it at all. The compartments are way too tight. They might loosen up over time, but I decided to remove the dividers on this one, too. Now it works much better. Here's how to do it. Cut the dividers as far down as possible, turn the thing inside out, finish cutting the dividers, then use a seam ripper to remove the dividers entirely. Be careful not to cut into the case when getting it started. The ends of each seam are well knotted. Once you get it started, it goes quickly to the other end. It took me about 20 minutes. These things are very well made.

I've owned a number different organizers and have seen many different kinds through my work as a professional in the medical field.For my purposes, this is the best I've owned in recent years. I'm retired now and beset with a number of my own medical conditions (many of which I had during my working years, including multiple sclerosis for 25 years). My father, too, had his fair share of illnesses -- Parkinson's, strokes, and more. I watched as my mother organized his pills into containers such as you'll find with this MedCenter organizer, except she didn't have the handy-dandy case to use for the week of meds! Instead, each of the plastic cases were secured with rubber bands. Not the way I chose to go!The traveler part, I suppose, is one can take a daily pill organizer out and carry that individually. I find that an insecure way to carry pills unless one uses Mom's rubber band technique -- the lids open too easily without something to hold them closed.I love this as a weekly organizer, keeping all of the daily pill organizers secured in the well-designed case. What really makes this organizer my favorite is the size of the individual "cavities." This is the only organizer that truly fits my daily meds. I recently also purchased the Ezy Dose Four-a-day Weekly Maxi-pharmadose Medication Organizer I'd contentedly used a smaller version of that for many years. I was surprised to find that the "cavities" on that organizer were smaller than on the MedCenter -- my morning & bedtime meds overflowed the capacity of those cavities.So, how does my "cavity" capacity need compare to yours? All I can do is give you a rough idea of what goes into my most crammed "cavities": 8 prescription medications, 3 herbal supplement capsules, 1 medium sized fish oil & 1 oversized fish oil of a different type. And I could easily fit more -- I estimate all of that takes up about 3/4 of the "cavity." (Updating amount but leaving original for as many comparisons to your needs as possible: my fullest cavities contain 8 prescription meds of varying sizes, 3 fish oil capsules, 3 oval OTC gel caps just slightly smaller than the fish oil, 1 small OTC pill & 1 oblong herbal capsule. That's 16 pills of varying sizes. And I'd say with the updated amount, it's about 80%-85% full and there's some room for more.)One drawback: the fabric dividers do tend to become bent over time, making it more difficult to insert the daily pill box. I just ordered my second of these, having used the first for a year or two (I've lost track). The first is still fully functional but it's definitely a little more difficult to insert the pill boxes for some days so I decided to go for a new one. (Tip: if that happens to you, pull apart the pill boxes near the one you're trying to insert -- the insertion will be much easier then.)And one word of caution -- be SURE to face the days at each end of the organizer with the lids facing inward! I stuck them in in haste a couple of times with the lids facing outward and, yep, the lids opened & pills spilled out.

This is a great product. 1) the lids are tight and need a little extra push to open. 2)the pill containers are hard plastic and do not rip or fold in on themselves. 3) the travel case is of good sturdy material and holds all of the containers tight. 4)the individual containers hold a nice amount of larger pills. 5)this system fits really well in a medium sized carry on bag if you are flying. This product will take a lot of abuse before going down. There are three sizes to pick from depending on the size of pills you are taking. I do highly recommend this product.

PRICE $ 13.99 - I ordered this product after having gone through many different pill cases I got at Walgreen's, CVS, etc. I must start by saying that due to a medical condition, I have to take over 25 pills every day, during three different times during the day. This is a very well made, high quality product. It includes 1 plastic container with 4 divisions for each day of the week. Each container is heavy-duty plastic made (I have a bit of a problem with my fingers mobility, so opening is difficult) each container is properly labeled (morning, noon, evening and night); same thing with the bottom and top, labeled with RED/GREEN for each day of the week (allowing for great management on when refills are needed). Carrying case is nylon, great quality; it also uses Velcro as the open/close mechanism. So far, after a couple of weeks, labels are wearing off a bit, not a big thing for me, especially since this is a very affordable and easily replaceable item. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to organize pill intake.

Great product delivery leaves a lot to be desired,two ordered one delivered
