I use one of those plastic orange 'match' containers. They are sturdy, and most importantly, have a plastic/rubber seal and a screw top. This keeps the top on--I've used 'pill boxes' only to have the tops pop open. Also, the 'pill boxes' don't keep out humidity/moisture, which causes meds to become useless in short order.

The only problem is that unless filled tightly, the pills will bounce around and eventually you get a fine powder off the pills. If this is a problem, try stuffing it tight with a cotton ball to keep everything snug. It also will double as tinder.
