Abstract: The present invention provides an organizer and dispenser for pills and the like which reduces demands for manual dexterity when the user retrieves the pills. In one aspect of the invention, the novel organizer and dispenser may have a plurality of compartments, such as one for each day of the week. The organizer and dispenser may have a closure at the top which reveals all of the compartments simultaneously. This is convenient for loading a full week's supply of pills. In addition to the closure at the top, each compartment has an individual closure at the bottom of the compartment. This enables all of the pills stored within one compartment, which are presumably to be taken by the user at one time, to be discharged from the organizer and dispenser by gravity.
