Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Nothing can throw you out of a routine quite like travel. Often that’s a good thing. Traveling allows for the spontaneity of exploration, and removing the push and pull of a daily grind can feel liberating.

But in some cases, losing the normalcy of your day-to-day life can disrupt important tasks like taking your vitamins and important medications. When you’re away from home, jet lagged, or off your normal schedule, forgetting to take an essential prescription, supplement, or vitamin can be a liability for your health.

A pill case is a must for anyone who needs to take any kind of medication while on the go, and ideal travel options are compact and secure so no tablets wriggle loose. We’ve selected the best ones to fit a range of capsule quantities and sizes, including a surprisingly stylish top pick with clever design features.

Best Overall

Port & polish am/pm pill organizer.

It can fit a week’s worth of medication with clear separation for morning and evening doses.

The mirror feature may feel unnecessary to some.

Too many pill cases we considered appeared the same: made from cheap-looking plastic in what was, essentially, the standard Monday to Sunday pill cases we remember watching our grandparents tote around (just in brighter colors.)

This Port & Polish case feels modern, and is an upgraded version of their tried-and-true weekly case with the addition of AM and PM slots for twice daily medications. It more closely resembles a cosmetics compact than a piece of medical equipment, and depending where you purchase it, comes in either blush, black, or mint green. The addition of a mirror means it doubles as a compact for on-the-go touch-ups. While that feature might not appeal to all, it’s an added perk that made it stand out from the rest.

The Details: 7.5 x 4.5 x 1 inches | BPA-free plastic | 7 compartments

Best Weekly

Auvon imedassist weekly pill organizer.

The clearly labeled and color-coded compartments fit all pill sizes, and the push-button spring design makes it easy to open and close. 

There are no separate compartments for morning and evening doses.

Unlike many other Monday through Sunday pill cases, this spring-assisted design can be open or closed with one hand so it’s easy to operate on the go. All lids are colorful and clearly marked, and the compartments are large enough to fit eight fish oil pills or 12 large vitamins, if needed. We also like how the compact plastic case is BPA-free and also includes a 12-month warranty.

The Details: 8.84 x 2.1 x 1.04 inches | BPA-free plastic | 7 compartments

Most Compact

Ppfish portable daily pill case.

This case is about the size of your thumb and comes in unique colors like rose gold and bright green.

Given its diminutive size, the container will only fit small pills like aspirin, ibuprofen, and small vitamins. 

Made from anodized aluminum, this case is our top option for those who travel with just a few small pills but don’t want to sacrifice style. 

With a diameter of just one inch, it's similar in size to a small lip balm. The case is waterproof with a rubber O-ring to protect its contents, and we like how it could be used for other small valuables such as rings, earrings, and earplugs. The color options are also more interesting than others we saw at this size and price, including matte black aluminum and (our favorite) rose gold.

The Details: 3.15 x 2.13 x 0.91 inches | Anodized aluminum | 1 compartment

HRX Pill Box Case

All seven compartments pop out in case you want to carry just the day’s doses (and then tuck away nicely inside a carrying case).

If you take medication more than twice a day, you’ll need a case with more compartments.

Sometimes, a one-a-day isn’t enough, and there are pills that must be taken in the morning, night, or both. This case makes it easy to stock up on twice-daily meds with compartments that are split into two separate spaces so there’s no forgetting a dose. 

The color-coded, translucent containers made from BPA-free plastic are clearly labeled for the time of day, and are small enough to individually fit in your pocket. Each canister pops into a case that holds all seven containers in place so there’s no worry about them falling out and rolling around inside a bag or suitcase. The organizer is under $10, making it one of the most budget-friendly options on this list.

The Details: 3.98 x 2.52 x 1.81 inches | Plastic | 14 compartments

Best Multi-pack

Qeedy 4-pack pill organizer.

This set comes with four waterproof cases and a package of labels so you can customize the organizer to each person’s individual needs.  

The compartments come in different sizes, so large pills might not fit in smaller spaces.

This set of four cases is great for a family who needs one case per person. Each organizer has eight compartments, and a set of blank labels are included so you can label the case, by pill type, dosage time, or day of the week. 

The cases are small enough — about the size of a credit card — to fit in a pocket, purse, or small bag, and made from BPA-free plastic with a silicone ring and a snap-shut lock for a secure seal. Unlike other cases, the compartments are different sizes, which can be a pro or a con depending on your family’s specific needs.

The Details: 7.17 x 4.76 x 2.95 inches | BPA-free plastic | 8 compartments each

Best Luxury

Ikigai weekly pill case.

Sleekly designed for minimalists, this case offers customized engravings, and is small enough to pack away anywhere you wish.

If you want to pack large vitamins, take twice daily doses, or are traveling for longer than a week, you’ll have to upgrade to a larger model.

Forget brightly-colored plastic or large carrying cases. This streamlined option made from anodized aluminum is a minimalist’s dream with clean-cut edges and hidden storage. 

But despite a demure design, the features are thoughtful. Made of a corrosion-resistant material, the case features a traction pad that makes it slide open with ease and comes in a slew of vivid colors and engraving options to imprint days of the week or your name across the front. And, with a lifetime warranty, consider this the last pill case you’ll ever buy.

The Details: 7.25 x 1.75 x 0.75 inches | Anodized aluminum | 7 compartments

Best Customizable

Cadence the originals set.

These aesthetically-pleasing containers are as functional as they are beautiful.

It costs extra to print words on the removable tiles if not included in the premade options.

This set of cases might be the most attractive, multi-use option we considered. Each capsule is magnetic and links up with others to form a unique honeycomb-like design. They’re leakproof, reusable, and impressively customizable with smaller and larger options as well as this original 1.32-ounce size.

In addition to the variety of calming colors they come in like eucalyptus, terracotta, and petal, each capsule features a removable top tile that can be customized to specify its contents. Choose premade icons that designate pills or day and night, or you can custom print the exact medication name or day of the week for an additional $2. These personalization options beat out anything else we saw and the multipurpose functionality — like transporting travel-size toiletries — adds loads of value.

The Details: BPA-free 20 percent recycled ocean-bound plastic and 30 percent excess manufacturing material | One compartment per Capsule

Most Stylish

Dosey am pm pill case.

The collection of zippered pouches are housed inside a chic carrier that’s more akin to a toiletry bag or cosmetics case.

Each pouch is zippered shut, so it might not be as secure against leaks as a standard case.

We love this choice for those who find a standard plastic case uninspiring. Instead, this case has zippered pouches that are housed inside a cosmetics train case-inspired carrier. It's also made from cruelty-free vegan leather with a velvet lining and wrist strap, and available in colors like sage, lilac, latte, and more. It comes with Monday through Sunday and AM and PM labels so there’s no confusion between pouches.

Use the 14 pouches for one week's worth of twice daily doses, two weeks for once daily regimens, or up to 30 pills to use as needed on your trip. 

The Details: 5 x 4 x 5 inches | Vegan leather | 14 EVA plastic pouches

Best for Long Trips

Auvon monthly pill organizer.

This color-coded organizer fits pills of all sizes for four weeks inside one larger carrying case so everything stays together. 

Since the case is intended to carry 28 doses of medication, it is bulky for a small bag.

For travels that extend beyond a week — lucky you! — a case that can hold doses for longer periods of time is a must. This organizer holds pills for four weeks, or 28 days, in clearly labeled and color-coded compartments that are roomy enough to fit large pills such as fish oil capsules. 

Each individual week can pop out on its own, so you can use those for shorter trips without bringing the entire kit, or you can use this option to bring pills for an entire family instead. We also like the accompanying case, which has a silicone seal to protect against moisture, and snaps closed to safely secure all medications.

The Details: 8.7 x 5.6 x 1.4 inches | BPA-free plastic | 28 compartments

Best for Backups

Restree weekly pill organizer 4 times per day.

This case is ideal for anyone who takes pills up to four times a day, or wants the security of traveling with extra spots for backup pills. 

It’s larger than other seven-day organizers. 

If you take pills more than twice a day, you’ll need a case with space beyond the daily, AM, or PM compartments. This weekly organizer holds medications of all sizes for up to four daily doses, and each individual day-of-the-week case can pop in and out. 

But the real standout feature to us was the additional box labeled for backup pills. Use it for a fourth dose or pack with extra pills, since, despite our best intentions, it’s still possible to lose medications. Bringing a surplus of each kind is the safest way to avoid a snafu while away from home.

The Details: 9.4 x 5.9 x 1.4 inches | BPA-free plastic | 28 compartments

Tips for Buying Pill Cases for Travel

Determine how many pills you need to travel with before selecting a case.

Your personal medical regimen should be the main deciding factor when selecting a pill case. Consider factors like trip duration, the number of daily medications needed, dosing times, and pill sizes before selecting a case.

For example, if you take pills twice daily, we wouldn’t suggest a seven-compartment option with no separation for AM and PM, no matter how much you like the style. Likewise, think about how long you’ll be traveling and make sure your case’s compartments match up to fit enough pills for the number of days you’ll be away.

Consider how much space your pills need

Pill cases are not one size fits all. An organizer might have every feature you want, but if you take large vitamins or fish oil capsules that won’t fit inside, the case will quickly become obsolete. Make sure to look for a case with slots that will either fit your specific pills, or can adjust, should your medications change in the future.

Look for cases that are accessible

If you experience swollen fingers, tremors, or have arthritis, be sure to select a pill case with accessible features. For example, a push-button, spring-assisted design will be easier to open and close with the touch of a finger than a snap-shut lid.

Anyone can use a pill organizer, and many are multipurpose enough to hold other items. However, anyone who needs to take a pill on a scheduled basis would benefit greatly from using a pill case, especially while traveling. A pill organizer keeps medications of any kind organized so you never accidentally skip it, or alternatively, take too much.

Different countries have different regulations regarding medication. If you plan to travel internationally and will be carrying prescription medication in a pill case instead of the container it came in from the pharmacy, it's a good idea to bring a copy of the prescription from your healthcare provider to avoid possible confusion with customs or local authorities. And no matter how you travel with medication, be sure to research the rules for medications where you're visiting to confirm if they may legally enter the country.

Just because a case is designed or marketed to hold medication doesn’t mean you can’t use it for other items. Many cases are multipurpose and can hold items such as jewelry, earplugs, or small valuables. Depending on the case you purchase, you might use it to store lotion, shampoo, conditioner, serums, cleanser, or other liquid beauty or toiletry products, too. Just make sure the case is airtight and leak proof in those instances.

TSA regulations allow passengers to bring medications kept within a pill case onboard in a carry-on. It is not required to keep medication in its original labeled packaging when traveling within the United States. You can also pack pill cases in your checked baggage, though we’d advise against that in the event of baggage delays. If you’re bringing liquid medications in quantities larger than TSA's allotted 3.4 ounces, be sure to alert the TSA security officer when you start the screening process.

7 travel pill cases to keep your meds organized

Travel pill cases with individual compartments for each day of the week can help you track whether or not you’ve taken your medication.

Whether you are going on a trip or need a way to keep your medications straight, a travel pill case can help. “They keep you organized so you can more easily remember to take your medications as prescribed each day,” says Dr. Karla Robinson , a board-certified family physician and medical editor at GoodRx.  “They can also help you keep track of medication you’ve already taken for the day to prevent taking extra doses by mistake.” 

Travel pill cases or organizers can especially be helpful on a trip because they are easier to pack than multiple pill bottles, says Robinson. Don’t take prescription medication? They can also be used for supplements and vitamins.

Each canister is shaped like a skinny tube and can be opened from either end. Inside, there is a divider. So, you can put your morning medication in the top and your evening medications in the bottom. The larger container everything fits in has a rotating handle. When closed, it keeps the canisters locked in place and when opened, it props up the container at an angle so you can easily see your canisters.

This pill case delivers on both fronts. This pill organizer has 28 compartments, which equates to four weeks worth of once-a-day doses or two weeks worth of twice-a-day doses. You can program up to six alarms and set it so that when the alarm goes off, only the medication you are supposed to take at that time is accessible. In between uses, you can lock the case with a key. This case has a 4.3-star average from over 3,200 reviews on Amazon.

How we picked the best travel pill cases.

The right travel pill case for you will have to do with your needs. However, the experts we spoke with said there are some universal things everyone should look for. Those characteristics include: 

Delineated compartments: Most travel pill cases have different areas to hold at least a week’s worth of medication, and our experts recommend paying close attention to how those compartments are situated. Look for clearly delineated compartments for each day if you take medication once a day or enough compartments for multiple times of day (morning, noon, evening, bedtime) if you take things at different times over 24 hours, says Alice Benjamin, a nurse practitioner and founder of the lifestyle website Ask Nurse Alice . 

Closing mechanism: If you plan on traveling with your pill case, it may get jostled around your suitcase. “Ensure your pill case has a secure closure mechanism to prevent accidental spills or openings, which could lead to medication mix-ups,” says Benjamin. “And if you have small children or pets at home, a pill case with a child-resistant or secure locking mechanism is important for safety.”

Clear labeling: “For people with visual impairments, larger markings, clear labeling or high-contrast design can be very helpful,” says Benjamin. “Some pill cases even have braille or raised text for tactile identification.” Even if you don’t have visual impairments, clear labeling can make it quick and easy to grab the medication you need and go.

Questions to ask yourself when shopping for a travel pill case

Shopping for a travel pill case is highly personal, as everyone has different needs when it comes to medications and supplements. To ensure you select a travel pill case best suited for you, experts recommend asking yourself these questions. 

What are your storage needs?

If you take only a few pills a day, you may be fine with a smaller case. If you take more medication or need to take things at different times of the day, a larger option with more compartments will serve you better. “That said, if you are traveling, I always recommend packing more than you will technically need,” says Robinson. “That way you are covered if something happens.” With this in mind, selecting something that will fit a bit more than you think you’ll need is wise.

How will you be using your pill case? 

Will you only be using your pill case when you travel? Or do you want something to put on your counter at home so your pills are organized and easy to remember? This may influence your choice. If you are just throwing it in a suitcase, you may not need to worry about aesthetics as much. But if it will be sitting out on your counter, consider something that you won’t mind looking at every day. 

Are your medications light-sensitive? 

The potency of some medications can be impacted if they are exposed to moisture and light, says Benjamin. Since bathrooms can get humid thanks to hot showers, you want a pill case that closes tightly so your medications aren’t exposed to that humid air. If you are taking a medication that shouldn’t be exposed to light, you’ll want to look for an opaque or darkly tinted pill case. In terms of maintaining the integrity of your medications, washing your pill case with soap and water regularly is also important — it ensures you aren’t transferring bacteria or residue to new medication you add in there, says Robinson.

This $6 Amazon Essential Keeps My Medications and Vitamins Organized When I Travel

A collage.

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

The one essential I keep in my carry-on no matter where I'm headed or for how long: a travel pill case from Amazon. The best travel pill cases are compact, secure, and easy to open on the go, and mine checks all the boxes. 

I used to bring the entire bottle of my daily medication in my carry-on and put loose vitamins in a plastic seal top bag—needless to say, this wasn't the best use of space (or single-use plastic). A year ago, I purchased a $6 travel pill case to save some packing room , stay more organized, and have something I could reuse trip after trip . Since then, it's been a packing non-negotiable for me and has made taking my medications, vitamins, and supplements while I'm traveling easier than ever. 

7 day travel pill case

It's nearly impossible to stick to your normal routine when traveling. While I don't mind missing a few workouts or healthy meals on the road, I do want to stay on top of taking my supplements and vitamins every day. This sleek, portable case has eight separate compartments that hold everything I need for a week's vacation in one place and make it easy to track what I'm taking. It features two separate sections: One side with six small chambers for storing daily pills and a second side with two larger chambers that holds capsules and vitamins. Having a pill case with compartments of varied size makes it easy to pack as many pills as you need and organize them however you'd like. I use the smaller chambers for my daily allergy pills and the larger chambers to store emergency essentials that I like to have on hand, like Advil ,   Benadryl , and Tums . 

The size of this travel pill organizer is perfect for most trips I take. The compartments are spacious enough to hold at least a week's worth of pills, but the case is still compact enough to fit in my Dopp kit (for reference, it's smaller than an iPhone). I've packed this pill organizer on numerous trips and it's never opened while in transit or spilled any of my items. To secure each chamber, simply snap the plastic top down. After filling the compartments with your medication, snap the two sides of the case together and toss it in your carry-on . 

Something I love about this travel pill case compared to others on the market is its sleek design. When it's closed, no one would ever know you have a week's worth of supplements on hand. And of course, the price is right. This $6 travel essential from Amazon has accompanied me on short weekend getaways to the Catskills , a 10-day European cruise , and countless business trips —and I plan to bring it with me wherever I'm headed next.

If you're worried about carrying a pill case through airport security, rest assured that travelers are allowed to bring their prescription medications and over-the-counter supplements with them. TSA allows travelers to bring medication in pill or solid form in carry-ons and checked baggage—so you can bring your pill case no matter what bag you're packing. 

While I love traveling with this case, there are plenty of great options on the market with high ratings and glowing reviews. Below, a few more of the best travel pill cases that we recommend bringing on your next getaway.

More travel pill cases we recommend: 

7 day travel pill case

Best day-by-day organizer

This best-selling pill organizer has over 57,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. It has two separate compartments for each day of the week with clear AM and PM labels, so you'll always remember if you took your medication or not. While it's designed for everyday use, it also doubles as a travel organizer for longer trips. If you're looking for an everyday pill box that will keep you on track or are headed on a two-week vacation, this one's for you.

7 day travel pill case

Best for organizing by AM/PM

Another Amazon bestseller is this weekly pill case with AM and PM labels. Each day of the week has its own portable, pocket-size case that can be removed from the box and carried on its own for day trips or hikes . 

7 day travel pill case

Most compact organizer

If you prefer something a little more discreet, this daily pill box has a simple yet polished design. The slim, lightweight organizer slides open and locks into place when you close it, so there's no need to worry about any of your pills falling out. Inside, there's a separate compartment labeled for each day of the week. 

7 day travel pill case

Another very compact option

This small pill box fits in just about any purse or fanny pack you're bringing on your next adventure. It features four separate compartments that each fit several capsules or vitamins, making it an ideal choice for weekend trips when you need two to four days' worth of medications. 

7 day travel pill case

Best multipurpose organizer

Cadence capsules are one of our editors' favorite reusable toiletry bottles , but they're versatile enough to neatly store pills, too. I keep a few emergency Tums stacked in one of these airtight, leakproof capsules in my tote bag at all times.

If you are planning a trip or vacation and need to bring any prescription pills along, there’s no better solution than a travel pill organizer. With a travel pill organizer, not only can you have a reminder to take your pills on time, but you can also conveniently carry them all in 1 small package.

It might seem like a straightforward thing, but travel pill organizers can sometimes get messy if you don’t pick the right one. To give you some perspective for finding a suitable organizer for your medicine, we’ll give you detailed instructions on what to look for and our top picks.

Travel Pill Organizer

When choosing a travel pill organizer, you should focus on a few crucial features. Some organizers have separate compartments with labels to help you take your medicine at specific times or on specific days based on your prescription. Other pill organizers have larger compartments that can fit multiple pills or larger pills like vitamins and supplements.

It’s also crucial that you go for a pill organizer with a design that allows easy and swift opening while still preserving your medicine. Here are the main things you should look for before making a purchase:

Labeled Compartments

Travel Pill Organizer Labeled Compartments

If you have weekly prescription pills, you could benefit from a pill organizer that comes with labeled compartments. These organizers usually include separate compartments for every day of the week to help you get organized a bit better and more efficiently.

Bottom Line: Some organizers will only have daily labels, while others have compartments with personalizable labels that you can mark with the medicine name or other prescription details.

Easy To Open

Travel Pill Organizer Ease of Opening

Travel pill organizers shouldn’t be too complicated — they just need to have an easy-to-open design . Some might even use buttons to pop the organizer open.

This feature is particularly helpful for the elderly, those with arthritis, or people with other mobility issues. The whole point of this type of design is to keep your pills in 1 place without having to bother too much just to reach into the compartments.

Compartment Size

Of course, you can find different sizes of travel pill organizers, but whether you go for a larger or smaller one could make a huge difference for you. For example, if you just need to store pills or pills that you’ll be taking over the course of a few days, you can go with compact options.

Still, there are also organizers with larger compartments that can fit fish oil capsules and vitamins as well as other larger pills. The compartment size should be based on your prescription pills, their size, and how often you take them .

Time Labels

Along with the compartment labels to designate the pill type and medicine name, you should also look for compartments with a time label. You can fill out this label with your pill schedule based on your prescription so that you never miss taking your medicine on time.

These markings can also be found on the small containment bags that some pill organizers have instead of compartments.

Here are our top picks for the best travel pill organizers. We’ve considered some of the most important aspects to look for based on the recommendations above, as well as different organizer types and sizes to suit everyone’s needs.

Light blue pill organizers with 8 compartments

A pill organizer is the most underrated travel items and yet the most useful. While it’s true you can transport them in a plastic pouch, but it’s more prone to leakage and displacement, especially when it comes to traveling. The last thing you want is to be caught at an airport for not obeying the TSA medicine rules for bringing overdosage of medicines in a big prescription bag. That’s exactly where a pill organizer comes in handy.

Not only it keeps your medicines intact, but it also comes in all sizes, styles that are travel custom-approved. So, from hassle-free and straightforward pill dispensers to programmable ones, there’s always a pillbox in the market to suit your needs.

Types Of Pill Organizer

Before you get yourself a pill organizer, get to know your options. To get the right one, you have to answer a few questions. Do you take pills daily or only when needed? How many pills do you need to take in a day? Also, are you traveling for a few days or weeks? All these will play into choosing the best travel pill organizer for you. 

To narrow down your choices, here are the types of pill organizers: 

  • Pillbox: Pillboxes usually come with just one or two compartments. These are perhaps the simplest among the variety of pill containers in the market. They’re small, light, and are perfect for slipping into your bag. This type is ideal for those who only need medication occasionally or those who only take 1 kind of pill every day. 
  • Daily organizer: If you take more than one medication per day, get a daily organizer. This type of pill container has more compartments to help you organize your medication. This is a great reminder if you haven’t taken your pills yet for the day.
  • Weekly organizer: Available in either one-time-a-day or multiple-time-a-day styles, weekly organizers offer convenience. This is the best type of travel pill organizer for those traveling for weeks. 
  • Monthly organizer: Stay organized for 31 days with a monthly organizer. This is great for long-term travel. Despite the many compartments, a lot of monthly pill organizers are handy.

The best start when choosing a pill organizer is to determine your needs. The following are questions you need to ask yourself to help narrow down your choices: 

  • How often do you need to take your pills? Is it daily or weekly? How many pills do you take per day?  
  • How many pills do you need to take a per dose? Is the quantity of the medications you take the same each time or do they vary per dose? This should determine if you need bigger compartments. 
  • Do you need an alarm to remind you to take your pill? If yes, do you prefer a note or an automatic notification on your phone?
  • Do you need a pill dispenser with a lock? 
  • Are you a frequent traveler? If so, get a pill organizer that’s more travel-friendly. You might consider a waterproof type if needed. 
  • Do you want a simple pill container or a stylish one? 

A Box For Every Pill 

Taking the right medicine at the right time is very important, even when traveling. And with the many things we have to remember each day, it’s understandable why taking pills is often forgotten. Good thing there’s a wide selection of pill organizers that make remembering easier. Whether you want the basic kind or the smart pill dispenser, there’s one to perfectly store your pills. Aside from that, most of the pill container options today are very travel-friendly. So, grab yours now and give your pills the home they deserve.

Anyone with a regular medication regimen knows the frustration of finding the best pill organizer for their needs—and one that isn’t totally  blah to look at day after day, dose after dose. Maybe you take daily multivitamins or birth control pills, or maybe you’re on a more intense schedule that requires multiple doses a day. Whatever the case, there are plenty of pill boxes and dispensers out there that are as pretty as they are practical.

When it comes to figuring out the right pill dispenser for your lifestyle, it’s crucial to consider how you’ll use it. You’ll want to factor in how frequently you take your meds (daily, twice a day, four times a day), when and where you plan to use the case (at home or while traveling), how often you prefer to refill your case (weekly or monthly), how large your pills are, and how dextrous you are (in which case, an easy-access pill box may be ideal). You’ll find there are pill boxes with different numbers of compartments that are as divided and as spacious as you need, compact enough to slip into a pocket or purse, and even smart enough to send you notifications when it’s time to take your dose.

From Amazon to Etsy, below are some of the best pill organizers on the market that will streamline your meds in a stylish way. They also make an excellent organization gift for the Type-A person in your life.

The size of an eyeglasses case, this organizer stows seven small organizers which can be individually thrown into a clutch or Dopp kit . Each labeled case is split into two-times-a-day doses. One of the 38,000-plus Amazon shoppers says: “This pill organizer is amazing! I get compliments on it. It fits in a cup holder when I’m traveling and is easy to find. I love that I can slide the small individual circles into my purse instead of carrying the whole thing around. It’s really easy to keep track of my pills this way.”

Ezy Dose Push Button Vitamin Organizer Box

Ezy Dose Push Button Vitamin Organizer

Ezy Dose makes some of the best pill organizers, according to shoppers, and we particularly like this minimal one for its straightforward aesthetic (clear for morning doses, black for the evening). The push buttons also make popping each compartment open easier than having to pick the whole case up and fiddle with its lids (a plus for anyone who has issues with dexterity). If you only take one dose a day, consider this colorful model from Auvon.

Zannaki Metal Weekly Pill Organizer

Zannaki Metal Moisture Proof Weekly Pill Organizer

Zannaki Metal Moisture Proof Weekly Pill Organizer

Made of durable BPA-free aluminum alloy, this sleek, waterproof, weekly pill box is a smart choice for those who might encounter the elements (be it on a hike or a leaky water bottle in a backpack). Not only is the case lightweight and attractive, but it has a special screw-locking system so that each daily pill organizer compartment can be separated from the others. If you go on a three-day trip, for instance, you have the ability to carry just the three days’ worth of pills that you need (instead of all the days). Nifty, huh?

Bey-Berk Chrome-Plated Pill Box

BeyBerk Chrome Plated Pill Box

Bey-Berk Chrome Plated Pill Box

For a truly stylish pill box, we can’t help admiring this two-tone chrome-plated number from Bey-Berk that has seven-day pill compartments and is easy to wipe clean.

Sanderala Weekly Pill Organizer (2-Pack)

Sanderala 2Pack Weekly Pill Organizer

Sanderala 2-Pack Weekly Pill Organizer

Amazon shoppers love the simplicity of this pack of pill cases, which come in pastel pink and white and are printed with easy-to-read text for each day (as well as Braille). You can either use the weekly pill organizer to split up a.m. and p.m. doses (which is handy if your pills are on the bigger side) or to fill two weeks’ doses at a time. At under $10, it’s tough to beat these pill planners .

UO Daily Pill Case

Urban Outfitters

Inside this nostalgic zippered case is a circular day pill organizer. Thanks to its splashy design, the case could double as jewelry storage too.

Ettinger Spectrum Pill Case

Ettinger Spectrum Pill Case

Todd Snyder

Sure, this pill case is on the pricy side, but man is it pretty. Made by Ettinger (which manufactures leather goods for the British royal family), this handsome black-and-gold leather pill case has seven separate pill boxes with removable dividers that let you customize daily doses (up to four). The luxe case snaps closed and includes a sewn-in sleeve for any essential cards or info you want to keep close.

The 7 Best Expert-Approved and Effective Pill Organizers

These pill organizers will help you stay on top of your medication management.

Verywell Health / Lecia Landis

It may seem like a simple daily task, but remembering to take your medications every day can be tricky and overwhelming. Relying on pill organizers is an effective way to manage your medication intake and make sure you're right on schedule , especially for those with conditions like Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

We researched dozens of pill organizers and evaluated them for ease of use, capacity, design, and value to find the best pill organizers on the market. An emergency physician from our Medical Expert Board also reviewed the contents of this article for medical accuracy surrounding pill organizers and the best way to evaluate them. 

  • What Healthcare Providers Want You to Know
  • Multiple Compartments: Organizers with limited sections and forcing you to mix various pills can undermine the purpose of a pillbox. The most helpful organizers allow you to dissect and separate your medication based on time, day, and week.
  • Compact: You probably have enough stuff in your purse or pockets, so the last thing you want is to add to the load with a clunky pill organizer that takes up a lot of space. Organizers with detachable containers make life so much easier with their transport abilities.
  • Reliability: Make sure to buy an organizer with a reliable and easy-to-open lock. You shouldn’t have to worry about your medication spilling out on the bottom of your purse or backpack every time you move.
  • FSA Eligibility: Pill organizers are eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), a  health savings account (HSA) , or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). However, they do not qualify for a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA).
  • TSA Guidelines: The TSA does not prevent you from bringing your medication in a pill organizer on a plane because they do not require medications to be in prescription bottles.  However, some states have laws about whether you need to keep your medications in prescription bottles. So, if you are traveling to one of those states, you should travel with your pills in those bottles and pack your organizer separately. Also, if you do travel with your medications in a pill organizer, it is recommended that you bring documentation from your doctor.

How We Selected the Best Pill Organizers

Why trust verywell health, best for daily use, se7en-day weekly pill organizer.

 Amazon

Compact size

3 separate compartments for each day

Moisture resistant

Difficult for some users to open

Number of Compartments: 21 | Removable Compartments: Yes | Material: Plastic

Why We Recommend It

Reminiscent of the fraction cubes you might have used as a child, this BPA-free plastic pill organizer is perfect for building up your medicine intake for the week and then breaking it down as you go along. Alaina Ross , RN, from Sacramento, CA, loves simplistic seven-day pill organizers like this one. Each pill case is compact and removable for easy, on-the-go use . Within them are three separate compartments to further organize pills based on what time they should be taken: morning, noon, or night. 

What’s especially nice about this organizer is that it protects against moisture , and the sealed buckle secures all the pills in place, so there’s no need to worry about spillage or children’s occasionally sneaky hands.

Keep in Mind

Some people had difficulty opening this organizer and found the case a bit clunky. If ease of use is non-negotiable, the Mimi Medcessories Pretty Pillbox is a sleeker option that's a little easier to open —just slide the button on the side of the container to easily dispense your medication one day at a time. It has seven compartments and can fit up to five large supplements or 12 small prescription pills , but it's not travel-friendly, and you can't return it if it doesn't work for you.

Best with Reminder

Medq daily pill box reminder.

Audio and visual reminders

Alarm repeats until pills are taken

Difficult to set up

Number of Compartments: 14 | Removable Compartments: No | Material: Not listed

The MedQ's Daily Pill Box is great for people who need consistent medication reminders . Pill organizers with automatic dispensers can be helpful because they release medication on a set schedule , which is good for people who get confused or don't remember if they took their meds, says Thureiyya Rodriguez , DHA, MSN, RN, WOC from Bronx, NY.

With 14 different compartments , the organizer holds just enough pills to carry you through your mornings and evenings for one week or a single daily dosage for two weeks . This holder has audio and visual alerts to remind you to take medication. In the case of a missed alert, the pillbox will send signals periodically until it's turned off. 

Setting up the reminders isn't intuitive, and some people find it difficult to do. We suggest reading the directions thoroughly and taking your time to set everything.

Best for Multiple Doses

Gms four-a-day medication organizer.

4 daily compartments

Braille markings on each lid

Travel-friendly, detachable days

Tray isn't reliable

Number of Compartments: 28 | Removable Compartments: Yes | Material: Plastic

Pill organizers can never have too many compartments, especially when taking multiple medications daily. This GMS weekly pill organizer makes juggling doses simple and accessible , with seven containers broken into four dose boxes divided by the time of the day in two-hour increments. 

All the boxes rest on a gridded tray and can easily detach for on-the-go convenience, whether that means slipping into your pocket or travel bag. But the best feature of all is the organizer’s finishing touch: braille markings on each compartment lid to assist those with visual impairments.

For some, the tray isn't very reliable. It can be hard to click the compartments into place and it sometimes even causes spillage. We wouldn't suggest traveling with the entire pill organizer. Instead, take the day compartment with you and leave the tray at home.

Best Portable

Medca pill organizer box.

Travel-sized

4 compartments

Sturdy latch

Small compartments

Number of Compartments: 4 | Removable compartments: Yes | Material: Food grade PP material

The Medca Pill Organizer Box literally fits into the palm of your hand, making it our most portable pick. But don’t worry, it’s not so small that it won’t get the job done. This rounded case can be packed in any tight compartment and is designed to fit easily in purses , overnight bags, and luggage, making it perfect for travel . 

The BPA-free organizer is separated into four sections and holds around 25 pills or vitamins. Strong and durable , this airtight case will see you through years of travel.

It's a very small pill case, so it's not the best for larger pills.

Best for Arthritis

Ezy dose weekly pill organizer and planner.

Easy-open lid

Fun color options

Not child-safe

Number of Compartments: 7 | Removable Compartments: No | Material: Plastic

The Ezy Dose Push-Button Pill Organizer relies on push buttons for easy medication retrieval and rounded bottoms for easy gripping , perfect for people who struggle with hand issues like arthritis . Each of the seven compartments is clear for visibility , and together they fit up to 30 aspirin-sized pills . Healthier living is simple and within reach with this organizer.

This organizer isn't child-proof. We suggest storing it in a safe space or looking for an option if that's your priority.

Best Monthly

Medca monthly pill organizer.

Monthly organizer

Travel-friendly

Number of Compartments: 64 | Removable Compartments: Yes | Material: Food grade PP material

The Medca Monthly Pill Organizer makes medication management easy for up to a month. It's colorful with 32 semi-transparent containers split into morning and evening slots for 64 total compartments. It can be quickly removed from its resting grid for easy transport and is made of BPA-free food-grade PP material. This pill organizer is perfect for planners who like to look ahead.

While it has an impressive amount of compartments for medication, they are rather small. This may not be the pick for you if you have larger pills.

Best for Large Pills

Sukuos weekly pill organizer.

Large compartments

Comes with carrying case

Difficult to open

Number of Compartments: 14 | Removable Compartments: Yes | Material: Polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

The Sukuos Large Daily Pill Cases comprise seven circular cases that fit into one big cylindrical case . Each organizer holds 14 capsules split between AM and PM sections , clearly marked for the time of the day and day of the week. The compartments were created with bigger pills in mind, like fish oil and multivitamin capsules.

If you struggle with dexterity, this may not be your pick, as some found difficulties opening the cases.

To determine which pill organizers to feature in our roundup, we did extensive research to find the best ones on the market. We selected picks based on the following criteria:

  • Ease of use: We looked for pill organizers that were intuitive to use and easy to open and close without spillage or physical strain. We also paid attention to how securely they locked into place.
  • Capacity: We sought a range of organizers to fit various needs, sizes, and periods. We prioritized efficient pill organizers with multiple compartments.
  • Design: We checked every pick for its user-friendliness. We noted the physical look and feel, extra colorway options, labelings, lock mechanisms, and additional features that made the organizer stand out against other options.
  • Value: We then compared their performance to the price point to ensure the pill organizer is worth the financial investment.

You can rinse them with warm water and soap and dry them with a soft cloth. However, some organizers may have specific cleaning instructions, so make sure you read the instructions to prolong the life of our pill organizer.

Whether you are going on a trip or just need a way to keep your medications straight, a travel pill case can help. “They keep you organized so you can more easily remember to take your medications as prescribed each day,” says Dr. Karla Robinson , a board-certified family physician and medical editor at GoodRx.  “They can also help you keep track of medication you’ve already taken for the day, to prevent taking extra doses by mistake.” 

Travel pill cases or organizers can especially be helpful on a trip because they are easier to pack than multiple pill bottles, says Robinson. Don’t take prescription medication? They can also be used for supplements and vitamins.

How we picked the best travel pill cases

The right travel pill case for you will have to do with your specific needs. However, the experts we spoke with did say there are some universal things that everyone should look for. Those characteristics include: 

  • Delineated compartments: Most travel pill cases come with different areas to hold at least a week’s worth of medication and our experts recommend paying close attention to the way those compartments are situated. Look for clearly delineated compartments for each day if you take medication once a day or enough compartments for multiple times of day (morning, noon, evening, bedtime) if you take things at different times over 24 hours, says Alice Benjamin, a nurse practitioner and founder of the lifestyle website Ask Nurse Alice . 
  • Closing mechanism: If you plan on traveling with your pill case, chances are it may get jostled around your suitcase. “Ensure your pill case has a secure closure mechanism to prevent accidental spills or openings, which could lead to medication mix-ups,” says Benjamin. “And if you have small children or pets at home, a pill case with a child-resistant or secure locking mechanism is important for safety.”
  • Clear labeling: “For people with visual impairments, larger markings, clear labeling or high-contrast design can be very helpful,” says Benjamin. “Some pill cases even have braille or raised text for tactile identification.” Even if you don’t have visual impairments, clear labeling can make it quick and easy to grab the medication you need and go.

My husband recently bought this to keep his daily vitamins and supplements in and I love how chic it looks sitting on our bathroom counter.

Each canister is shaped like a skinny tube and can be opened from either end. Inside, there is a divider. So, you can put your morning medication in the top and your evening medications in the bottom. The larger container everything fits in has a rotating handle. When closed, it keeps the canisters locked in place and when opened, it props up the container at an angle so you can easily see your canisters.

Benjamin recommends a locking pill case for anyone with children and says choosing one with an alarm can be helpful for those who tend to forget to take their medication. This pill case delivers on both fronts. This pill organizer has 28 compartments, which equates to four weeks worth of once-a-day doses or two weeks worth of twice-a-day doses. You can program up to six alarms and set it so that when the alarm goes off, only the medication you are supposed to take at that time is accessible. In between uses, you can lock the case with a key. This case has a 4.3-star average from over 3,200 reviews on Amazon. 

Questions to ask yourself when shopping for a travel pill case

Shopping for a travel pill case is highly personal, as everyone has different needs when it comes to medications and supplements. To ensure you select a travel pill case best suited for you, experts recommend asking yourself these questions. 

What are your storage needs?

If you take only a few pills a day, you may be fine with a smaller case. If you take more medication or need to take things at different times of the day, a larger option with more compartments will serve you better. “That said, if you are traveling, I always recommend packing more than you will technically need,” says Robinson. “That way you are covered if something happens.” With this in mind, selecting something that will fit a bit more than you think you’ll need is wise.

How will you be using your pill case? 

Will you only be using your pill case when you travel? Or do you want something to put on your counter at home so your pills are organized and easy to remember? This may influence your choice. If you are just throwing it in a suitcase, you may not need to worry about aesthetics as much. But if it will be sitting out on your counter, consider something that you won’t mind looking at every day. 

Are your medications light-sensitive? 

The potency of some medications can be impacted if they are exposed to moisture and light, says Benjamin. Since bathrooms can get humid thanks to hot showers, you want a pill case that closes tightly so your medications aren’t exposed to that humid air. If you are taking a medication that shouldn’t be exposed to light, you’ll want to look for an opaque or darkly tinted pill case. In terms of maintaining the integrity of your medications, washing your pill case with soap and water regularly is also important — it ensures you aren’t transferring bacteria or residue to new medication you add in there, says Robinson.
