Digital Pill Box, Single Beep Alarm and LED Alert

I have purchase this twice, first for my 96 year old mother who finds it to be an excellent way to be sure and take her medications twice a day. It worked so well that we ordered one for my brother! Setting it up is very easy if you follow the directions on the brochure that's included. You just set the time and day, and then set the times you want the morning and evening alarms to go off. Not only does it sound the alarm, but it lights up the individual pill compartment that you need to take at that time. It's well made, and ensures that no mistakes or forgotten medications occur. Great product!

This has been an amazing product. I have struggled with making sure I don't take the same medication twice a day. I have struggled with overdosing accidentally. I have struggled with being able to find my medication. This has been an amazing product. I love that the light flashes longer than the sound after you hit the next button so that I don't have to sit and listen to it while I'm taking it. The light makes it easy to find the medication. There is Braille on each of the medical medication compartments and I love that. If I were to make a recommendation for improvement it would be I'm visually impaired so it would be nice to have some haptic feedback in the compartment with the light. I know this would make it a little more expensive but that would be an amazing feature for the visually impaired and as people get order older they begin to lose their vision. Thank you for such an awesome product. It's really made a difference and how I feel everyday.

I bought this for my mom who needs reminders to take her meds. I set it up for her and it was great reminding her to take her meds, but it went off at 3:00 AM every night as well and woke her up. I checked the settings…took out the batteries…reset it. Still went off. I exchanged it for a new one and tested it before giving it to her to make sure she wasn’t doing something to cause the extra alarm. Same thing. It worked for me on time, but it also went off in the middle of the night and other random times. I see by the reviews it’s a common problem. Wish I had read them before. I need for my mom to get sleep at night, so I’ll return the second unit and keep looking for a better alternative.

No instructions included

This is the best pill dispenser on the market.once you set it up it’s foolproof.i take 5 pills a day ,2 in the morning 3 at night and the secret is to have a daily routine.i take the morning pills when I brush my teeth ,and night when I brush my teeth. I skip all the alarm set ups on this unit and mark one side AM and the other side PMEACK PILL BOX HAS THE DAY ON IT SO AFTER TAKING THE PILLS I DEPOSIT THE EMPTY PILL BOX IN THE BOWL.SO THAT PART OF THE DAY IS NOW EMPTY,TURN IT AROUND FOR PM ,SAME DEAL.SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE PILL DISPENSER AND THE DAY IS STILL THERE ,YOU KNOW YOU HAVENT TAKEN THE PILLS . FOOLPROOF,WORKS EVERYTIME

I don't usually write reviews but want to help and inform caregivers that are working with elderly parents that have dementia. The only reason this received four stars is because the alarm could be a little louder. I can hear it fine but not my mother. This product was for my 80+ year-old-mother who is starting to have dementia and also a little hard of hearing.Unfortunately, mom lives alone and refuses to be moved to a senior facility. With her dementia she is forgetting to take her medication and is forgetting how to use pill boxes. The pharmacy started pre-packaging and delivery her medication for her weekly but she didn't know how to use this either. She'd either take the medication on the wrong day or confuse her night pills with her day pills. Sometimes this had her double dosing which is worse than not taking the meds.The alarm and flashing lights on the Med-Q Digital Pill Box have been amazing. If she doesn't hear the alarm the flashing light indicating which pills to take has worked perfectly. Of course, I left the pill box in a very visual location. Mom is now back to taking the right medication on the correct day and time. It has eliminated a lot of worry the family has.The pill box was very easily programmed. Thank you!

Worked wonders for my dad when he was having trouble remembering things

My mom is a few years into a dementia diagnosis and she was struggling to maintain consistency with her meds. We were skeptical about this as a solution but decided to try it before escalating to more expensive personal care option. Since then, in 6 weeks she hasn’t missed a pill, so I’d say that’s a huge success. Way better than we expected.We set it up for AM/PM alarms. I used a PTouch label maker to label AM and PM on the device. This helps when refilling it to know which one is which. The big red button that says “NEXT ALERT” also wasn’t obvious to her as the way to turn alarm off and set it up for the “next alert”, so I used the label maker to provide some basic instructions too. It’s worth noting that when the alarm goes off, it actually flashes a red LED light on the actual little pill compartment that’s supposed to be consumed. Alarm is loud enough to be annoying from an adjacent room but won’t wake the neighbors. Compartments are small but hold ~7 pills each.
