I need a Thing for managing tablets

I need a Thing with 5 little compartments, so that I can give dd's school a week's worth of medication clearly arranged. Ideally it would be small enough to fit into an envelope.

ATM I give them a blister-pack strip of tablets with the day of the week marked on each blister, but soon the dosage is going to change to half-tablets and the current system will no longer be possible.

Does such a Thing exist? I've only seen one day versions with 4 compartments.

You need a dossett box from any high street pharmacy. Pharmacists will make them up for you. There are several types/varieties. We use them for elderly people or people who need to have a carer administer their medication.

I've got one with 7 compartments for a week, very similar to this one, I've also got a 7 day one arranged in a circle. You often get a good selection in independent pharmacies.

You'll also find a pill cutter useful if you haven't already got one Smile (available in any chemist)

I think I got mine in Poundland, a 7 day one. Either that or you should find them in most pharmacies.
