Why a pillbox may not work anymore.

Pillboxes or medisets are excellent, low-cost medication management tools. However, for individuals who are having a hard time remembering to take their medications, confuse medication dosing times or have dexterity issues; pillboxes may be inadequate. Consider the following questions on whether a pillbox is appropriate:

• Can the individual remember to take their medication on time?
• Can the individual open the pillbox and dispense their medication?
• Should the individual have a week of medication available (overdose)?
• Does the individual take the right day and time when using a pillbox?
