keychain pill container

I thought there were past threads on this but my search didn't find any. I need a small pill container to carry on a keychain. I've seen a couple in pharmacies but they are either too big or very thin/cheaply made. Any good ones out there?

if you are not going to access it frequently, I found the one from Harbor Freight to be the correct size for my key chain, but the threads not very good...it just carries a couple of aspirin and ibuprofen and not opened frequently

I searched a couple of years ago for Christmas gifts, and found an offshore unit with a rounded bottom, good threads, and has been used daily for pocket carry... sorry, I don't remember the source, but most likely Amazon

I have one which has served capably for several years. I believe I obtained it from County Comm;

I use these:

I've carried one similar to one of these for several years

For many years my key chain pill capsule has been & remains the Bison Designs Capsule, Large. I also wrap the capsule in ~18” of Gorilla Tape. In it I carry 4 ibuprophen tabs; 4 pseudoephedrine tabs.; 2 caffeine tabs; 2 generic Benadryl tabs, & 4 chewable 81mg. Aspirin tabs. This gives me some pain and allergy relief, a legal energy boost ( caffeine + pseudoephedrine,), basic anaphylactic treatment & heart attack minimization.

GUS stainless steel pill fobs, not the cheapest but...

They are also sold in amazon.com

ebay has several choices. Remember to tape them shut and add a bit of fluff so the pills don't get pulverized

Big second vote for CountyComm.com I've ordered from them several times and they provide first rate items. Take the time to cruise their website, even if you are not in in the market for anything. Very interesting. Standard disclaimer, aside from several purchases, no relationship with them, BUT I'm a HAPPY customer of theirs.

I have been carrying a small pill container that I purchased at a truck stop long ago. It has an internal plastic vial in which I put several Nitroglycerin tablets and a few aspirins. I did this at the suggestion of my primary care person at my VA hospital. I have a heart condition and this could be very useful if I or another person has a heart attack.

I wondered if it would stay secure without tape and so far (over a year now) it has resided on my rather poorly treated key ring. It has a rubber O ring which seems to be holding up well.

I had another container in which I carried a $100 bill and that one started out being taped, but the tape became sticky in the Arizona heat so I put some heat shrink tubing around it. The heat shrink worked pretty well, but eventually it will expand again and become large enough to slip off the container. I then heat it again and it shrinks tight for awhile. I was not willing to experiment having that container un-secured by tape or heat shrink tubing.

We tried another container attached to a dogs collar with owner information inside. It lasted less than a week before all that remained was the top. It was not secured with either tape or heat shrink tubing.

hmm, caffeine tabs are a good idea for the late nights. I found plenty of 5 hour energy drinks but didn't find any caffein tabs, where do you typically find them? I tried two different grocery stores in the supplements and the diet/exercise/energy drink sections.

REI for one has glucose packets with caffeine. Probably any outlet catering to runners will have the same. i keep some in my car to avert drowsiness...

There are a few places on the www where you can get caffeine supplements.
VitaCost Caffeine Supplements
&
Amazon caffeine supplements
&
GNC

...are a few , I’me sure there are others. That’s not to say caffeine supplements are recommended, I’ll make no health recommendations. I get my caffeine the good old fashioned way ... and I grind my beans just before brewing

WalMart. With the various pills.

I found some at walgreens, stopped on the way home. I don't know why I couldn't find them at Kroger and Meijer.

I can't get into coffee. This will be a rare occasion, those nights we do get to go out late.

I've used both brass and stainless containers from these guys for years: http://www.sunshineproductsusa.com/ If money's no object, they also have titanium.

The CC Delrin Pico Pull is a good lightweight option. Titanium & stainless steel are nice, but heavier and depending on your favorite method of carry (neckwear?), a lighter weight option may be preferable; Delrin is a stable, black polymer, very lightweight. YMMV, so Ti, SS, polycarbonate are options too. The brass corrosion/patina thing may be a drawback.

Just to clarify, Delrin (polyoxymethylene) is actually white, but it does come in various colors including black.

I run a little piece of tape around the seam on mine, to prevent accidental opening.

In a pinch.... I take the checkout line Ibuprofen, Motrin, Tylenol... plastic cases and use them. It IS a bit big but a quick loop of cord secured and it is ready to go.

OTC painkillers have their place I suppose, but I need them so rarely they are not in my EDC. Besides, what painkillers do is mask pain and allow you to continue when you should probably stop. Continuing is not necessarily a good thing; minor injuries can get worse. Just my non-medical opinion.

Agree about the masking and the 'stop and evaluate' aspect. MY use of them is primarily the NSAID value. The pain relief is good if 1.I know the injury won't get worse (especially if the ability to stop RIGHT then can't happen and I MUST continue for a little) 2. I know I AM going to be stopping and it'll feel a bit better while I tend/treat it to helping it get better.

I agree completely with your points.....I was just using the meds as a reference to the container.

The anti-inflammatory effect can also alleviate the problem. Shredded the cartilage in one knee and had it cleaned up about 10 years ago. It sometimes decides to ache. Ibuprofen for a couple days will put it back to sleep for weeks or months. It will have to get a lot worse before it is even ready to go back to orthopedics again.
