Desrt Flower,

I get a 90 day supply and only pull about 5 days worth out at a time.

I put the 'main med bottle' in a little thermal sandwich size case which I keep in a drawer.

The 'short' supply, I just keep in the cabinet in a small med bottle and use it for my dosages during the day.

I figure the main supply is less likely to be effected by temp or humidity if I'm not openning it all the time...and so far, I have had no problems with crumbling or effectivity.

Maybe this would work for you too.

That is a good idea. I'd use a typical dispensing vial from the pharmacy. (you can ask them to run a duplicate label, and put it on a smaller empty vial...5 or 7 dram. Usually there is no charge for this. These are designed to keep most noxious elements to a minimum. Heat, light, moisture.

The daily pill minders are not very well made IMO. You know the ones with M-Sun with the flip tops. A Pharmacy vial would be better.

I just keep mine in my purse. My purse is usually not far from me and no matter where I go...I have my mestinon. :D
