    If you are travelling, yes.


    At home it helps to keep them in a container that is labelled with each individual medication.

    If, while travelling, you should be in an accident or become ill, the emergency team (doctors, paramedics, etc) need to know NOW, what meds you are on, in order to assess the situation.  It could be a matter of life or death, especially when you are away from home and those who know your medical condition.

    Keeping a list of meds, dosaes, and how often you take them with doctor phone #s and emergency contact info. in your wallet is very helpful in this situation!

    I carry four meds with me at all times. They are all in one container in my front pocket. Yes, I could get hassled if a cop wanted to be a p***k. I just find it a real hassle to keep them in separate containers.

    Yes it is a good idea. You don't want to mistake a tablet for another,  or double up on one, better to be safe than sorry.

    You need one of those bracelets or necklaces that have your medical information on it. If you have a medical condition you should never step out of your house without it. It's a hassel to carry a bunch of bottles around so the ID jewlery  solves the problem.

    Too great of a chance to mis-dose if you take them out of the marked container. Accidents DO happen....

    I only take four meds. They are all different in size and shape. I can tell them with my eyes closed.
