Subject: Cyclers pill case?
I take some meds daily for cholesterol and such

Am looking for a robust seven day week pill "case" that
tops will NOT pop open on and will withstand multi-week
tour

What you guys use?

Everything I see at the pharmacy has those cheap flip
top lids that now way will they stay shut!

I'm looking for screw top lids.... maybe seven very
small nalgene bottles that are duct taped together?

Walgreen's, if you have those in your area, has a small aluminum case with a
screw top. It even has a rubber O ring on the lid that keeps the contents
completely dry. I have one, but can find absolutely no brand name on it
that might help you find it elsewhere.

Maybe you can get one with the Astana logo! Or a Ferrari!

I don't use nothin' yet though I surely someday shall but
uh dude kitchen-style-plastic-wrap (what in the States is
called Saran Wrap) to keep the pills clean? And then put
'em on top of your stuff to keep 'em from being powder?

REI has nicely CNC'd aluminium screw-top vials of many
anodized colors and shapes &c et al for those who are
fashion-conscious.

Plus you must realize that Walgreens and such have actual
7-day SMTWRFS-coded boxes, for those on a complex system of
these-on-this-day-those-on-that-day regimens.

Have you considered film cans? Cheap, durable, water-tight, maybe a bit
larger than you want but not too huge.

Hi there.

The Craft section might have mini plastic paint pots. I got some at a
Dollar store = about six per row about 1/2 ounce size tight snap on
caps similar to camera film canisters.

Cheers from Peter

I'd suggest going to WalMart or something and looking at the fishing
tackle boxes. There's some really small, multi-compartment boxes that
latch pretty darn tightly.
