Once the baffle is a certain distance from the partition, the medicine bottle can be inserted into the slot of the partition. Releasing the baffle allows it to return to its original position under the spring's elasticity, and, together with the partition, secures the medicine bottle. In this way, different types of medications can be stored separately using the medicine storage box and the medicine bottles. Elderly patients can quickly find the corresponding medication using the labels, saving time and preventing medication errors. Therefore, the actual usage effect is better.
