Pen Box / Pill Organiser

[Alan Morrison]

Very much a prototype!!!
I have always thought that pen boxes should be dual-purpose.
The pen holder is removable.
I wanted to make a couple of these boxes for friends who have to take pills daily.
I realise that the pill part needs work, maybe make the box a bit wider.

Comments useful, valued and welcome.

your issue is stability of the drugs when in such an open box structure.

No matter how well you finish the surface et. you will always get moisture ingress which has or can have , massive effects on drug stability. At the start of the week they maybe fine but certain drugs are supplied with desiccants built into their foils or bottles to prevent them degrading. Other drugs evaporate ( I kid you not ) and y the end of a day they would be ineffective never mind a week.

Oxidation is another ball game altogether but generally slower as stabilisers are present in most formulations.

Beautiful work but use it for ear rings, coins , pens, NOT drugs
