Weekly pill dispensers save confusion. If a great many pills need to be taken they are all placed in the pill dispenser on the relevant days. Each day the pill dispenser is opened at the relevant day of the week and the pills inside are consumed. This is especially useful if the medication has to be taken every 48 hours, as it is much easier to lose track as to when the medication was taken. It is also very useful for people who have large quantities of medication (and therefore lose track of it) or have short-term memory problems and consequently over- or under-dose.

Are there any weekly pill organizers available that have big enough slots for multiple medications, have large lettering on them and are easy to open and close by someone who has mobility issues due to severe arthritis and a stroke?
There are a variety of options, depending on the budget. There are weekly pill organizers with three or four compartments for each day that have easy-to-read print and easy-open latches for each compartment. The difficulty, however, comes in removing only the pills form a specific slot, which requires dexterity, so review each model carefully. There are also automated dispensers, some with alarms, that dispense the medication without requiring additional manipulation of lids or latches.
