What to do when the number of doses each day exceeds the capacity of the dosing box

This has annoyed me for a long time.

Why is there a maximum of 4 doses / day?

Tonight the solution struck down.

Buy one more same box but with in a different color

Choose one color red to be morning (am) and the other color blue to be afternoon (pm).

Place the red one furthest from you on the table and the blue one closest to you and you have doubled the capacity (8 doses / day)

I have 7 doses / day with 2 hours between doses so it should be good.

Really frustrating, isn't it. I also have spent much time looking for it and also an alarm that will tell me to take my meds that I can actually hear above the Tinnitus in my head. The prospect of finding a 5 or 6 compartment pill box is very low and for it to also have an audible alarm is impossible . It seems obvious that you and I are the only people in the world with that need. Funny huh

Here you are, you have to set your sights lower - like try the southern hemisphere.

I have had a compact pill box - 8 dose a day with alarms for probably 5 years. Its great.

It is

TabTime Super 8 - TTS8-8TB
