Med-Q Digital Pill Box with Alarms – Pill Organizer with Flashing Lights & Beeping Reminders – Monthly Pill Dispenser for Seniors, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Medication & Vitamin Management

Keeps my Mom actually reliable at taking her medicine. Keep instructions handy for changing time schedule in the future. Set up requires focus. Quality product.

Here’s the whole story of how this producer worked for us, really, saved a life and saved my wife’s mental health too. My 79 year old mom-in-law lives in independent living. She was not very independent about taking her medications Though. We had to visit daily to make sure she was taking them. (We can’t afford a service.) Then Covid hit and we couldn’t visit. We would call her twice daily and she would assure us she had taken her meds. She got really sick (not Covid) and started getting dizzy, anxious, headaches, trouble breathing,...all the things. Finally at 2am she called us very ill and my wife made her get her pill minder and tell us how many were empty. None. She hadn’t taken them for a week. She truly thought she had been taking them. We looked at many options. This thing works for her. In the 5 weeks that we have had it she has missed a single dose. It was easy for us to program for morning and evening meds (there’s no way she would have been able to set it up). The alarm grows from quiet to obnoxiously loud, for 5 minutes. The day she’s supposed to take lights up. If she misses, 25 minutes later it goes off again. We were worried she’d turn off the alarm and walk away, but the day still blinks even after she turns the alarm off and won’t stop until she opens the pack. At this time, this works for us, when nothing else has, it’s fairly low tech, easy for family to set up, large enough for her to be able to manipulate, and compared to other devices, inexpensive.

I purchased this for my parents who are a little cognitively compromised. It has worked great!! The only complaint I have is that it is a little hard to program and the instructions could be better. I want to emphasize that it works great just as it should.

I have had this about 4 days now and can give some feedback. I go out of town and have to talk my wife through taking the medicine when I am not there, over the phone. Pros - Clearly flashes the pills to take. My wife has not missed her medication since I have set it up. She loves it and gives her more independence. It's compact, the set up was fairly easy. Cons - The alarm seems weak. Last night, my wife ignored it for an hour. I didn't draw her attention to it to see if she would finally recognize it. I thought it would get louder after a while, but it seemed to get weaker. The batteries are new and purchased last week. Also, I hoped that each compartment would stay locked except the flashing one. That is not the case, although the seller responded that only the flashing one would open. I can open any of them while the compartment is flashing. The problem in the past with my wife, is that she would take two doses, not realizing she took one already. I was trying to avoid that.

We love this med box. Nice alarm that keeps beeping until the pill is taken. It will pause and snooze for a while and then resume on its own. So it’s impossible to ignore. Our only issue was that it was hard for us to set the alarm. But we called the company phone number included, and the man on the phone patiently talked me through it. Afterwards, we wrote the company phone number with a Sharpie on the bottom of the pill box, in case we need it again. Well worth the investment, because now my teen doesn’t need me to remind her to take her pill. This is not what we use it for, but he man at the company also mentioned that a lot of parents are buying it for their daughters’ birth control pills.

It was difficult enough to set it up. It has issues with getting it to set time correctly. After testing it for 2 days we set my FIL up with it and explained how it worked. It started malfunctioning just 2 days after we dropped it off. Going off at times when it wasn't set to go off. We had bought 2 of these as my FIL has meds 4 times a day. The one that was to go off in the morning went off in the evening. And the one that was set up with evening meds went off at the wrong time as well. They did the same thing in the morning. This made my FIL to not know which meds he was supposed to take. These meds were for diabetics, dizziness and heart meds. Needless to say, they are going back. DO NOT BUY, NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!

My brother-in-law is recovering from a brain injury. He came home from skilled nursing and lives alone. With standard medicine organizers he couldn’t decipher what day to take. He also was non-compliant without a reminder. The alarm is fantastic and especially the fact that it continues until he takes the meds and hits the button but also the flashing light to show him which day to take is brilliant! He has not missed a dose since we got this and has done multiple days completely on his own. I would recommend this product 100%

The Pill box came quickly, is good quality. I had a difficult time setting alarms, I'm a retired RN, but once set light/alarm worked well. Unfortunately, there are no locks for alarms & my dad's dementia is too advanced for him to be able to remember how to disable the alarm after taking medication. The multiple buttons for setting dates/times confused my dad & he accidently reset alarms causing greater confusion/anxiety. Also the day markers are very little & difficult to see for someone w/impaired vision. I think the pill planner would be very helpful to a user that has minimal forgetfulness and/or lives w/someone who can monitor/assist daily. It is time for my dad to transition to assisted living where professionals will manage his meds.

Happy with the product. Alarm and flash light is working well for our daughter and is alerting her to when medications should be taken.
