My mother has to take up to 14 pills at a time-- are the compartments big enough to fit up to 14 pills(3 larger tabs and 10 smaller)?

I would think so. Not knowing exact size of pills its hard to say for sure. You might be able to set it up so 2 compartments would open a few minutes apart.

I cannot say absolutely for sure that all of your mothers pills would fit but I think it is very possible. The compartments are bigger and hold more than you would think. They don't look very wide but they are kind of deep. I keep a pair of tweezers handy to remove or place pills if necessary. Hope this helps!

Do all of them need to be taken at the same time? Could you spread them out? I have put 6 meds and 2 stool softeners in a compartment at a time. There are 28 slots. I have the timer set for 4 dosages per day for 7 days. I fill the dispenser for my Mom every Saturday. It is easiest to load the meds in a regular 28 slot plastic pill box and transfer to the dispenser. I labeled the box for easy transfer. This way you have a weeks worth of back up pills in case there are pharmacy issues or you need someone else to load the dispenser if you go out of town. Hope this helps.

I used it for my mom who had a ton of pills. It was kinda a chinese puzzle puting them in in the right order to make it work. put the small ones in first

Each pocket is about 1 3/4 cm wide, deep, and long. I can fit into one: a large multivitamin, two tiny allergy pills, one fairly small round (about the size of an asprin) pill, and one mid size (bigger than a tylenol) pill. I do have to puzzle them in to make the thing close, but they just barely all fit. Hope this helps.

Depends on the size of the pill. I could easily put 6 (maybe 7) of calcium pills in one section.

I tried fitting what I had, and there is plenty of room for 32 pieces in each of the four compartments. Hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Sharon

I don't know if they are "monster size." They are for capsules. I can get 2 full pills and one half of a pill in one of these if I am careful. There is also a "pill" size of the pockets which I think are smaller. Maybe you could try one pack first and see if it works. Good luck!

The oversized oval shaped Citrical fits in there nicely. Four oversized Metformin pills fit in one compartment, too. It is wonderful!

Neil R. I am sorry I bought these for my mother, so I don't have them with me. I can say they hold a lot of pills. In 1 compartment I can fit 2 very large eye capsules, plus 1 large calcium pill, an aspirin, and 3 blood pressure pills, and there is still plenty of room for more. I purchased three to set my Moms pills for three weeks at a time. Works great for us! Good Luck!

Yes, definitely! If you are using the 12 or 16 containers 4 can fit in the main compartment. If you are using the larger containers, you can fit 3 in the main compartment and a small container can fit in the top zippered area. I use the zippered side areas for my shaker bottle and protein powder, fruit, almonds and other things in ziplock bags. Its plenty big. I travel with mine. This has helped tremendously with monitoring my diet. I really, really like this bag! :-)

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 pills are different sizes, so it's hard to say, but it holds a lot of pills. The inside dimension of the morning compartment is 1"-3/16" w x 2" L x 15/16" H. The noon and bedtime compartments are both 1"-3/16" D x 1" W x 1" H. I hope this helps. Please also see my review where I stated that the plastic is very thin and breaks with minimal use. Great item, but not very durable at all.

5 and they are TINY. If you take a lot of pills at one time and need to carry a lot.of doses this won't work.

Each day has four compartments: morning, noon, evening, and bedtime. Each compartment holds six of my supplements, which are big, as well as three smaller medications. The compartments measure 1" x 1" x about 7/8" .

At least 1" by 1" I take a lot of pills and the slots hold all mine. Caution: do not put jell caps in the meds-pro. They stick to the sliding cover and try to move with it. I carry my Thera Tears in their own container. The Meds-Pro is a great product.

There are 28 compartments. Assuming the daily dose of pills for the 5 medications are small enough to fit into one compartment, and that they are all taken at the same time, 28 days. If some pills need to be taken in the morning and some in the evening (requiring two alarm settings per day), then you would need to refill it every 14 days. In this case, you would load the pill dispenser with morning pills and evening pills alternating in every other compartment, so each time the alarm sounds, the appropriate pills (morning or evening) would come into view. This is the way we use the pill dispenser, so we refill it every 14 days. There are 28 compartments.
