Abstract
A portable medication dispensing unit has several compartments for storing pills or other forms of medicine. The dispensing unit is programmed with a medication schedule which causes visual and audio signals when it is time for the medication to be consumed. The medication schedule is optimized to accommodate the user's personal habits and to simplify taking two or more medicines. The programming means may be integral with the dispensing unit or a separate unit.
