A medical lock box is a medicine storage and holder for capsules, tablets and other types of drugs and they can be vitamins or prescription medications. Most medicine lock boxes come in rectangular shape and made from metal, wood or plastic. They offer moms a handy and inexpensive way of organizing their medicines and in making sure they are not easily accessible to kids.

The smallest type of pill organizer only has one compartment and is made to hold one dose, or a day’s worth of vitamins or medication. The type of medicine lock box that has seven compartments is more popular. It has a compartment or section for each day of the week.

Each weekday name is imprinted on the lid of the compartment. When you reach the last day of the week and all the capsules or tablets have been taken, the pill organizer will be ready to be refilled for the next week.

Plastic medication bottles come in different colors like yellow, blue, pink, green and clear. The reason for using different colors of pill organizer at home should be not be mainly for looks or aesthetics, rather, to make it easy to find and identify the medications of each family member. Colored medication bottles can look appealing especially to kids therefore it is extremely important that the bottle you choose comes with a lock and that they are stored in secured cabinets that can’t be easily reached or accessed.

The closing and opening part of the medicine bottles are designed to be easy to open making them a danger to kids therefore you should choose a medicine box that comes with a lock. Aside from the common plastic version, there are also other models available such as fancier medication bottles that come with alarms.

The alarms are designed to be set for times the patient will take the medicines stored in the medication box. Some pill organizers of this type have vibrating feature to remind the patient to take his or her capsule or tablet medications on time. Choose a medication lock bottle that suits your needs best.
