Can this be set for dispensing meds twice a day? If so, can it be used for 14 days?

We use this for my Mother, she takes her meds twice per day and we change it every 14 days. We have two extra trays. I would recommend having at least one extra tray, then you are not filling every two weeks and you can just pop the spare in.

Yes, although I don't use the alarms myself. Twice a day dispensing gives you 14 days for one tray; 28 days with two trays.

Yes, It can be set for dispensing twice a day which would equate to 14 days...

I use one drop twice a day - so two drops a day and the box is at least a month's supply. There are two vials in each box so for me each vial holds at least 30 drops. Part seems to depend on the size hole you make when you first open the vial. Just be careful as the directions instruct so you have control when you dispense.

No there is not. And each day has four compartments for different times of the day. Nothing keeps the patient from taking to many compartments or days of pills. However, I provided this for my sister and we fill it once a month. She had been at the point where she wasn't taking her medications properly, or at all, and could not cope with the task. This made it simpler and she was able to take her pills on a timely basis. For her it has worked great! She just needed the simplification to enable her to cope with her many pills and has improved greatly.

You set the timer for up to 3 times a day and set the amount of food to be dispensed. This will automatically dispense the amount you set at a certain time every day. Batteries last months. Hope this helps.

The model I have can be set to water every day, every other day, every third day, etc. However, since the date is not programmed into the timer, it won't know if the day is odd or even. You could set it to every other day, but you would need to adjust it at the end of a 31 day month to keep it odd or even.

You can set up to 4 pill dispense alarms a day. At every specified alarm the pill machine rotates the pill tray allowing access to the slot holding the next dose. The machine requires the use of the key to access the schedule settings as well as pill tray. I hope this helps answer your question.

Kelly, there are 28 slots in the wheel that's locked in the dispenser. However, there is a second wheel that can be "loaded" with medications so that when you're ready for it, you can easily lift the first one out and place the second one in, to run on the schedule you've already programmed into the dispenser. I used it for 7 dispensing times per day, so I loaded it on the fifth day with a new tray. Please let me know if you have additional questions. None of my labels have been used - all are still in the package they came in.

The day of the week is 1" and the date is 1 1/4" , the time is 3/4". You can set this for up to 4 times daily. Once set if frees up the caregiver of that obligation as long as the patient is able to take the prescription and turn it off until the next dose.

It is hard to say. The dispener can be adjust the opening for more or less to dispensed. But if you only want 4 to be dispense, I never try.

Depends on how many times a day you use it...recommended dosage is twice a day.

It will dispense up to 6 times a day, and needs to be refilled every 4 days at this rate. You might get away with 5 days at 5 times a day. It is easy to refill, as it comes with a second tray. It is only for pill form meds, will not handle liquids. It has been working very well for our family's needs, is fairly easy to program, and easy for the patient to get meds on time, without mistakes. no missed doses or double doses.

It only dispenses pills for the date and time you set up. However, it should be noted that if someone wants to break into it, that is fairly easy to do if they are determined. This should only be used to dispense pills and keep someone on a schedule. Not necessarily keep someone from getting to pills they shouldnt be getting to. I hope my answer helps.I used it for my my 95 year old grandmother because she would forget to take her pills.

I do meds for 2 times a day and that lasts for 14 days. There are 28 slots for pills.

If you use too much in a day, yes, it does. In my experience, anything under 4 servings is fine. I would suggest slowly working up to that dose though.

Yea, it can with continuous use. I like to use this product 1 or 2 times daily. If used continuously changes will appear within 2-3 days.

No. It is for dispensing at a selected time. It can be programed to dispense up to 4 times daily. It cannot dispense randomly.
