Does anyone use poison pill rings to keep their meds in them?

@adhd

If you do, what are some potential issues I might have with keeping my #adhd #meds in a locket ring? How can I tell if a ring’s secret compartment will be big enough? (For context, I use Amoxetine (generic Strattera), which is only available as a caplet)

    Doesn’t look like this would apply in the case of atomoxetine (Strattera) but for anyone considering this idea with one of the scheduled medications, be sure to check your local laws first. Some jurisdictions may require certain types of medications to be stored in the bottle from the pharmacy with the patient’s current prescription information on the label.

    My wife has a poison ring, about the only thing it is large enough to hold is a Claritin, maybe two. It cannot even hold a generic ibuprofen.

      I have Earpeace plugs and the container is hanging from my keyring, the lower compartment holds pills nicely.

        Arent the meds heat sensitive and shouldnt be stored over 37°C (or something usually around room tenperature)?

          Haven’t heard about them being heat sensitive more than any other pill, but eg. Elvanse capsules start to dissolve if they come in touch with moisture causing them to become fragile, so I’d put a bit of cotton or paper if I were to stash those.

            Think I read in the package manual (in Germany we call it Beipackzettel) that the meds shouldnt be kept for long durations above a certain temperature. And I believe that was somehwat around room temperature.
