I was trying to find some medicine today and realised I need a better system to organise what I have and know what I don’t have. Currently, everything is kind of thrown into a drawer.

Ideally it will be seamless enough that it doesn’t become a chore when I need to add or remove something.

EDIT:

Thank you for all the suggestions thus far. I just want to make a small clarification.

I’m not looking for a system to organise the medicine/vitamins that I am currently taking (although the ideas provided are super useful). I’m thinking more along the lines of a “stock management” system for the stuff I am not actively using.

I came across this software as an example.

    I use one of those Sun thru Sat pill containers. I have one color for morning, the other for night. I keep all pill bottles I am currently taking in one box/basket and I use them to refill the dispensers once a week.

    Anything I am not currently taking is in a separate box in a cabinet on the top shelf. Or, if it’s expired or I know I’m not taking it ever again, I dispose of it at the local Walgreens that has a “secure pill trash can” just for this purpose.
