Pack them each in a baggie. Second line of defense against Murphy...

I'm so glad mine come in blister packs. I may moan that the different manufactures use different patterns to make the 14 (7 7 vs 5 2-2 5), but that is so minor compared to picking them out of a bottle. The cats' pills are bottled, but I've not seen human meds in pots, outside hospital, for years

Group several in gallon baggies. I bag mine (15-20 I dunno) in groups based on time of day to take them, but the similar ones in a group are big enough that they have letters or numbers on them or distinct color. Mostly.

You did not pick up what I was gently putting down, so let me try again more explicitly: you do not know what constraints I am operating under and there was no question mark in my post.

The issue is I am physically incapable of using childproof pill bottle lids and the non-childproof lids come loose in transit too easily. No amount of One Neat Trick can solve this problem in a way that is both legal to transport in carryon luggage and physically possible for me to use.

Melt two holes on opposite sides of the lid with a combo cap in the non childproof position with a heated wire. Use a rod through the holes for tighter closing and later opening torque. My loophole is it's two neat tricks 😏 Please don't block me

Her pharmacy's combo caps are weird and not amenable to this trick, unlike mine!

I do not need people to problem solve this for me
