Pill Organizer Tips: Supplements and Medicines in One Plan
Pill organizer tips start with one list of everything you take, medicines and supplements together, shared with your pharmacist. Fill the organizer weekly from the original bottles, keep those bottles and labels, and follow the directions printed on each one. Never add a supplement without checking it against your medicines.

What are the best pill organizer tips?
The best pill organizer tips are to fill it weekly, from labeled bottles, in good light, at the same time each week.
Work at a clear table. Fill one day at a time, and double-check against your written list. Keep the original bottles; they hold the directions and warnings.
- Fill on the same day each week.
- Use the bottle label, not memory.
- Keep a printed list inside the cabinet door.
- Choose compartments you can open easily.
- Store it out of the reach of children.
Should supplements go on the same list as medicines?
Yes, supplements belong on the same list as medicines, because they can interact with each other.
NCCIH advises telling your providers about everything you take and notes that supplements can interact with medicines, with St. John's wort as a common example (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely).
FDA gives another: ginkgo, warfarin, aspirin and vitamin E can each thin the blood, and taking them together may raise the risk of internal bleeding or stroke (FDA, Mixing Meds and Supplements).

How would MemoPryl capsules fit into an organizer?
MemoPryl capsules would go into an organizer only as the directions on your bottle say, and those directions are not printed on any image we have.
The two bottle images disagree on count, 30 or 60 capsules, so read the bottle you receive. Six ingredient names are tied to MemoPryl through a sibling pack, amounts not printed. St. John's wort can make many medicines weaker (NCCIH, St. John's Wort safety), and ginkgo can raise bleeding risk (NCCIH, Ginkgo).
Before the first capsule, show the bottle to your pharmacist. Check medicine interactions and keep taking prescribed medicine as directed.

See packsWhat if I have surgery or a new prescription?
If you have surgery or a new prescription coming, update your list and ask which supplements to pause.
A health care professional may ask you to stop supplements two to three weeks before a procedure (FDA, Mixing Meds and Supplements). Do not decide on your own to change a prescribed medicine.
If you get unusual bleeding, a rash or any reaction, stop the supplement and call your doctor. Read side effects.
How do I avoid mixing up doses?
Avoid mixed-up doses by filling the organizer from one list, once a week, with no interruptions.
If you are unsure about a capsule, leave it out and call the pharmacist. A skipped capsule is easier to fix than a wrong one. Ask a family member to check your first few fills.
FAQ01
Questions people ask about MemoPryl
Can I put supplements and prescription pills in the same organizer?
Yes, many people do, if each item is as its label directs. Tell your pharmacist about every supplement first, because some interact with medicines, and keep the original bottles for the directions and warnings.
Should I throw away the original bottle after filling an organizer?
No. Keep it. The bottle holds the directions, warnings, lot code and contact details. You will also need it if you ask about a return or report a reaction.
How often should I update my medicine and supplement list?
Update it whenever something changes, and review it at every doctor or pharmacy visit. Bring the list, or the bottles, to appointments so your care team sees the full picture.
