How many dry pills can each of the 28 dispenser slots hold?

Each slot can hold about 14 advil-sized pills. Less if they are larger, more if they are tiny like synthroid. This dispenser kept my mom independent much longer than she would have been without it. WELL worth every penny paid.

Depends on the size of the pills? I have placed 4 pills of various sizes in each slot, and i believe that the slot/container could easily hold double that amount.

Depending on the size of the pills, if they are large capsules I would say 6 maybe? We had small pills and had no issues. The slots are plenty big.

All depends on size of each pill. On average each tray can hold 6 large pills such as the fish oil capsules and about 10 smaller pills or in combination. The tray is pretty deep and can accommodate several small and larger pills. Steve Hndz

I believe it came with 5, then I ordered the add on pack. You can dry using up to 7 trays.

The size give or take is that of a regular size post-it. You can fit a good 10-12 pills in one.

Mine aren't all vitamins, they are pills of various sizes, but to test it, I just put 10 pills comfortably in one compartment (when I say compartment, I mean 1/4th of a one-day container), which means that I could fit 40 of my pills in a one-day container. If your pills are all really large, it will hold a smaller amount. That said, each day's four-compartment case is relatively small and transportable. Hope that helps.

My mother takes 14 pills per day dispensed 4 times a day. Some times 6 pills at a time. Some are large capsuls and there is plenty of room left for more if needed.

Yes, the problem is not how many pills a compartment can hold, but having 5 compartments in lieu of 4. My wife takes her meds 5 times a day, so putting two dosages into the 4th compartment is not working out. She only has 3 pills per each of the 5 times, so size is not an issue.

Do you take 12 pills each time the 4 times a day? I take 15 med's a day plus supplements and I use 2 compartments for morning and 2 for nite. The openings themselves are tapered not square bottomed, everything fits if you put them in right. One of the best ones I have ever used have been quite happy with it so far.

These are a standard 40 sheet clip. There are 3 sizes, 20, 40, and 60 size clips and dispensers; 40 is the most common. I don't have one handy to determine size, but a little less than an inch wide.

One of my pills measures 1" x .5": this fits along with 4 or 5 other pills of varying size in one compartment. Hope this helps.

You can't really overdose because of how the dispenser works. There are 28 individual compartments. You fill each one with pills depending on how many times per day you need to take them. In my case, I have 14 days of pills (2x per day). You set the times you want the dispenser to move. In my case, 7am & 7pm. At 7am, the dispenser moves to the morning pills and an optional alarm goes off. To get it to stop, you have to turn the pillbox & shake the pills out. At 7pm it will move again and the optional alarm will go off again until you turn the pillbox & take the pills. There is also an optional lock feature that prevents someone from opening the entire box & taking all the pills. You can't really overdose because of how the dispenser works.

That depends solely on the size of your pills. The sections hold at least 12 of my pills. My pills are roughly the size of Aleve ibuprofen. The sections hold about 20 of my smaller pills.

I have had good luck in cutting my pills-just be sure to get them in there evenly-put the holder on a good solid surface and give it a good whack--you can't just push it down---but if you whack it hard, the pills are evenly cut. Best I've seen--you can do 7 pills at a time.

the one I have can hold 4 to 6 easily. However, the more you put in, the pockets will stretch a bit. If you then decide to only put one in the slot, it will be a lot less secure.

I just stuffed it with unwrapped straws I got from Target, and I can fit 82. If you get thinner straws(like the kind that come with the dispenser) I would guarantee 100. Hope this helps you!

The standard syringes are pretty small so storage of 6-8 is probably readily workable in the dual pouch. I do not know about the vials.

I suppose you could dump a section worth into your hand...but I think the purpose of these it to have the individual days containers. I find it really easy to set out the days pills and empty each compartment as needed... I would buy a whole, intact weekly dispenser if you don't want the convenience of using a day at a time.... I hope that answered your question. I have never tried to use it as anything other than a day at a time [and then opening up the AM compartment for morning, etc.... ]

Each tray has 9 slots. Each slot can hold 1 full size McCormick spice bottle or 2 of their 1/2 size bottles.
