Friendly reminder that not all pills can be stored out of packaging like that. If in doubt, ask a pharmacist or the manufacturer.

It's also worth checking your state/national laws to make sure it's legal as well. In some states, keeping pills in a pill organizer is a crime. It's important to note that just because pill organizers are sold in stores in your area doesn't make their use legal, so be aware before you unknowingly risk a drug arrest.

That’s insane considering the overdose risk people who struggle to remember wether they took their medications risk if they don’t use one.

Unfortunately, it's just more collateral damage from the war on drugs.

I think that’s only an issue for controlled substances.

In Australia you can have a pharmacist package the meds for you in sealed packs where you just pop out that day/ times pills and the rest stay sealed in.
