Pill organiser chart

A weekly pill box only helps if it's filled right. Write down once what goes in each compartment, then fill the box from the chart every week.

Weekly pill boxes are one of the ways the National Institute on Aging suggests to remember a medicine.¹ This chart is the list you fill one from.

How to use it

1. Pick the chart for how many times a day your box has: 2, 3 or 4.
2. Write each medicine and its strength, then how many go in each compartment, copied from the label or the pharmacy's instructions. Leave a box empty if none goes in.
3. Describe what each one looks like ("small white round"), so a dropped pill can be put back.
4. Fill the box at the same time each week, and tick the week at the bottom.

Ask your pharmacist whether each of your medicines can go in a pill box, or needs to stay in its own packaging.

Twice a day

Three times a day
