    This sounds good. We are using this medicine box that has week days on it with 4 times per day. (28 cells.) Some old  box but it works. One can clean it and it is light. But I guess the caregiver didn't clean it often.

     

    The box you mention looks good but it needs battery/alarm. It is good for personal uses. But it is true that the medicine boxes of any kind helps a lot.

     

    However it is something that is done with caution - don't want to put the medicines in the wrong places in the box! It is tricky. The caution is still important and vital here so the patient won't take the wrong medications.
