Dear Mari:
For my family I use the plastic pill dispensers that have the day of the week on the lid. They sell them big enough to hold all your pills. I have my Empowerplus and omega3 and calcium. I fill it every week; otherwise I would forget to take it. I also use this system with each child. 2 of them have their medication/supplements, and the other 2 have their supplements in them, and they brush their teeth, comb their hair, take their pills, and them come eat breakfast. For the 2 that also take evening doses, they have a yellow box for morning and a blue box for evening.
(I know that alot of parents freak out over their kids managing their own medication, but I think its important that it becomes a routine part of their life. I fill it once a week and put it in the bathroom, and they take it from there.)

Works for us anyway.
