do stored pills stay in-place if entire unit is picked up and tipped to dump dispensed pills into one's hand?

yes, we never had any problems with that. I bought this for my father who had Alzheimer's. And the only problem we ever had was getting him to remember to slide the compartment door closed after getting his meds. If you do not close the sliding compartment door - it will not rotate to the next compartment and open when the next dose is due.

Unless the pills are very very small, they will stay in place if the unit is picked up and tipped.

There is a key that allows you to open the entire dispenser to load pills, any other time, all of the pills are not accessible. Only the date and time are unlocked. But as my mother used to say, locks are for honest folk. Of course there are ways around this but you have to be very determined to get at other pills, as in destroying the whole unit/breaking the unit.

Yes. The compartments are held in place by dimples in the bottom and ridges in the lid. Even if you remove a bin, there are feet on the others that sit in the dimples and keep them in place. The ridges in the lid assure that every thing stays put when it is closed regardless of the how it is tilted.

They are stored vertically..They would unsnap immediately if you stored them horizontally..However I have had a much better experience with the single snap and store boxes..No problems with the single ones.

No. You need to sort and put in the machine. It dispenses only. Good for those who cannot remember to take the pills.

I don't fully understand what you mean about the boxes being locked? These pill containers are basically like daily pill boxes--or sleeves--that are all arranged in this holder for a month supply. The person would have to know the date and take the pills for that date. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask.

No the batteries do not slide down as they are used. Each battery in the caddy has a designated slot. However, I use mine in a drawer where I can reach in and get the batteries as needed and they are stored in a safe upright caddy where it is easy to see the sizes. I used to keep batteries in a square plastic storage box where I had to search for the sizes and also found that this was not the safest way to store batteries. Hope this information helps...

Nope. These are in capsule form and can be stored on your bathroom/kitchen shelf with the rest of your supplements.

Yes. They are held in place by tabs and screws but could be removed if desired.

No, it will not sort the pills. It simply has 28 compartments which you fill with the combination of pills you need for each dose.

I'm not sure what you mean. Would you not remove the pill from the blister pack? I ordered this for my mother who lives in a different state so i haven't actually seen the dispenser. I do know there are several vitamins in one section that she takes in the AM so I do know it holds at least 4 pills in one spot but they're not in a blister pack. Hope this helps. PS. She loves the dispenser, it has helped a great deal

Yes. The med box pill dispenser WILL advance to the next dosing time if the meds were not taken. Therefore, the missed dose will be locked in the med box and you will find that missed dose when you unlock the box to refill it.

I've not had this issue. Generally I pick up these boxes holding them by their sides, so it seems unlikely the day info will soon disappear. My issue has been difficulty opening the compartments, yet they've not yet come open accidentally, as has occurred with another pill case I use.

I store them in my underwear drawer and they seem to be ok. I don't know if this is the best place to store them, but it works for me! I'm sure you can google it for more accurate information!

Yes, by dropping them inside. If they are too long, loop them and bring back out. Don't let them touch as the mfg. says not to.

Yes, works great. This is the best pill container I have ever owned. Well made, and should last a lifetime.

Mine do. There are little pyramid-like "chocks" in the corners that help to keep things in their bins. However, I should add that I mostly keep my trays flat, unless carrying them. They don't have a lot of temptation for compartment hopping.
