“I have Parkinson’s disease. Before, just unscrewing and screwing the lids, and filling the little square plastic cells… you couldn’t get the pills out after you got them in there. It was just cumbersome and aggravating, irritating. Now, all you do is just tear off the end of the pouch, and you’re done.”
– Barbara, Louisiana
“Before PakMyMeds, it was like, I didn’t know if I took my medicine or not. I would double up, or I would take too many. I didn’t know what day it was, or know if I took it, or I didn’t take it. I’d end up having to go back and recount and calculate. It was such a big deal, especially for somebody with head injuries, like I had. Sometimes, I just couldn’t remember if I took it or not. Now, I never miss a dose.”
– JoAnn, Texas
“I travel a lot, and it’s used to be so difficult to bring all those bottles. With PakMyMeds, it takes much less room. You’re not worried about bottles rolling away, or dropping out of the car. It’s just so much more convenient. I just love it. If you’re going to be gone for a week, you can roll off enough little pouches to last that long, and lay them in your suitcase, nice and flat.”
– Edna, Idaho
“It’s just so convenient. I guess it’s a conversation piece sometimes, when people ask, “What is it?” I just love it because there’s the medicine. It’s all counted, all packaged, and I only have to deal with one dose at a time. I like it.”
– Eunice, Minnesota
“I impressed my neurologist. I said, ‘Look how I’m taking my medicine now,’ and he liked it. He said, ‘That should make it easier for you to keep up with your treatment.’”
– Parvati, New Jersey
“Truck drivers: if you’re traveling, DOT can’t mess with you, because all the prescriptions are there, it’s written on the packet what you got in there, the color of the pills and everything, the description. It’s a whole lot easier.”
– Jerome, South Carolina
“Before PakMyMeds, I’d be coming to the pharmacy to fill my prescriptions about four or five times every month. Now it’s just one trip. I get them all at one time.”
– Armando, Florida
“You can just grab and go. I just tear what I need that day. If I’m going on a trip I’ll tear off however many days I need to take with me. I’ve got plenty of room for everything else, because it doesn’t take up much room.”
– Rosemary, Arkansas
“I used to carry a big rectangular box about a foot tall and about 8 inches high. It was heavy all the time, it had all your pills in it. Oh Lord, just to get all the pills in there… by the time you do that, you wasted an hour. This way, if you got 5 minutes, you’re through. With PakMyMeds, it’s a whole lot better.”
– George, Alabama
“Traveling is so much easier now, because there’s the time printed on the package, and the dosage. With my condition, I have to take my meds at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, and 10pm. So that’s five times a day. With this you can just pack it in your suitcase, tear off a few pieces, however many days or hours you’re going be. It helps me remember to take it regularly.”
– Marvin, Utah
“My doctor loves it. Even when you go to the emergency room. They look at it, they ask you, ‘Where’s your list of medicines?’ I just pull this out. ‘This is what I take in a day.’ They look at it, and they really are impressed. I mean, they didn’t know anybody could do that. They said they wished everybody could do that, because it’ll be a whole lot simpler when you go to the ER, you don’t have to carry a list with you. You just got your medicines. Show it to them, it’s got the description right on there. They love it.”
– Kendra, Georgia
“I carry it in my pocket, and I just look at it, and I see what time it is, and I take the pills. I don’t miss my dosage. I don’t have to remember it any more. I’ve got it right there with me.”
– Roberta, Michigan
