What customers are saying about Phill Box
"Great product, better than the plastic bottles that most likely don’t get recycled. I would like to add that I have received a new prescription that is taken twice daily and so I am opening the box twice a day and it is still extremely durable!"
Sara S. Patient Testimonial
"I love that this product is recyclable and compostable. Great alternative to the current plastic bottles. I would definitely pay for this over a plastic bottle."
