In regard to the [[muktzah]] status of pills and other [[medications]] see Minchas [[Shabbos]] 88:footnote 77, Har Tzvi tal harim tochain 2, Shalmei Yehuda 10:15:footnote 46, Zera Yaakov 13:page 153, Nachlas Yisroel pages 633-650 in depth, Shulchan Shlomo 318:7:2:page 298, Ohr Yisroel 6:pages 17-20, Aruch Ha’shulchan 308:59, Bais Avi 3:52, Avnei Yushfei 5:62.</ref> (See the footnote for some background)<ref> | One of several rabbinic decrees that our Sages enacted in order to guard the sanctity of [[Shabbat]] concerns the use of [[medications]].
