I'm considering buying this after my kidney transplant. Would this hold the pills or be too small?

I take 5 large capsules, 2 small capsules, and 5 small pills per day. The four compartments hold all of these with room for probably another 4 or 5 small capsules or another 8 to 10 small pills. Hope this helps, and good luck to you.

It has 4 slots I only use 2 slots and I have to take about 15 pills a day and 6 are big pills

I think it depends on the size of the pills. Most of the pills I take are pretty small. With the larger capsules, I could probably fit 4 into a compartment. I hope your transplant was a success, and that you are recovering!

about 4 inches - holds a lot of pills especially useful if you have several medications to take regularly

Neil R. I am sorry I bought these for my mother, so I don't have them with me. I can say they hold a lot of pills. In 1 compartment I can fit 2 very large eye capsules, plus 1 large calcium pill, an aspirin, and 3 blood pressure pills, and there is still plenty of room for more. I purchased three to set my Moms pills for three weeks at a time. Works great for us! Good Luck!

I cannot say absolutely for sure that all of your mothers pills would fit but I think it is very possible. The compartments are bigger and hold more than you would think. They don't look very wide but they are kind of deep. I keep a pair of tweezers handy to remove or place pills if necessary. Hope this helps!

The oversized oval shaped Citrical fits in there nicely. Four oversized Metformin pills fit in one compartment, too. It is wonderful!

My husband says about 3mm, I'm not sure if that's right. His nitro pills fit easily and it would hold a slightly larger pill, but a full sized aspirin would not fit.

Yes, I guess it should be big enough. Although I've never done it that way. I like to break the pill pocket into small piece and wrap the pills individually

I like it and wanted a smaller one. the opening across the top is about 3.5 inches. (check with your physician/pharmacist first, some pills should not be crushed and dangerous if taken that way). thanks

I believe it would be. I still use vial and syringes and everything fits well with extra room.

The pill exact size should be available on the site. It is not the size of the pills you describe. Would imagine you could put it in apple sauce if too large. Good luck.

Unfortunately we use this for Forteo medicine not insulin....so we are not sure it would hold what you want

I would not consider this small. Inside bowl is 2" deep. It has a rubber bottom and is weighted so it is very stable. I really like it. If I has to grind up a pill I would choose this size. Since the bowl is deep enough to keep the medicine in. I agree that it is not a smooth and you could be loosing part of your dosage.

Not too big at all. Not horse pills, if that is what you may be thinking. :) I didn't find relief with these for kidney stones in the long run however. Some people are sensitive to chanca piedra, hopefully you will not be!

Mine are not all big pills but nothing tiny. It holds mine fine and about the same amount as you take. Each space is 1 inch wide, 1 3/16 inch long, and 1 1/4 inch deep. It is the best that I've seen.

Hi...I would say no - I can fit 6-8 pills that size in there, but 9-10 would be pushing it. Since there are four compartments, I sometimes separate them into two boxes (unless you need to take that many pills four times a day...). It is very roomy in general!

I too take fish oil and vitamins. While there are four compartments they weren't big enough to hold more than 2 large pills. My husband on the other hand doesn't take as many large pills and it works great for him. It's just not suited for large pills

I would call it an "average size" capsule. I have no problem taking two at the same time.
