Mason Jars for Storing Daily Medication


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 969 Posts

A row of small empty mason jars with prescription medication bottles.I have tried this and that, and finally found the best way to take my medications. They have mini mason jars for 2/$1.00 at the Dollar Tree. This is 7 jars, one for each day. I have a big "I" on the top to remind me to take my insulin in the AM.

When I fill the jars, I then put them in a kitchen drawer lined up. There is no need to do them by days, as the meds are always the same. Once each day is over, I put it upside down so I can see that it's empty. On the evening of the 7th day, I fill them all over again.

This really helps me to keep everything straight, sanitary and easy to remember. Hope that helps!

Go to the nearest Dollar Store and get a "Dosette". It is a light weight plastic container that holds seven daily racks, each with four little boxes with hinged lids. Each little box holds a bunch of pills for somebody with diabetes, heart plus some other ailments. AND your vitamins!

In the morning you take out the 1/2" x 1/2" x 4" rack for that day, slip it into a shirt pocket or purse, and you are set for the day.
No need to lug a big box around.

The whole dosette with 7 daily sticks measures about 4" x 5" by 1/2" thick, approximately, and precisely fits into an old DayPlanner or similar little folder.

Airport security is familiar with dosettes and does not raise a fuss.
I have used them for about 10 years and have not worn one out yet. They cost a dollar at your nearest dollar store.

I bought one once and found it to be too little room and the little flaps were hard to open.

I bought some of those once and they didn't work. My pills are too big and the other is the little lids were so hard to get open I just donated it.

I bought it from Amazon, too. Wish I had known it was available at the Dollar Tree!
