A container for dispensing pills is disclosed. The container holds a plurality of receptacles, where each receptacle holds a portion of pills. The receptacles set on a rotating base, where the rotation of the rotating base is controlled by a timing mechanism. The rotating base and the receptacles are enclosed in the container, covered by a lid. The lid covers most of the receptacles. The lid is locked onto the container body to control access to the receptacles. The lid has an opening large enough that one or more of the receptacles may be removed from the container through the opening. When the timing mechanism indicates that a time for dispensing pills has arrived, the timing mechanism instructs the rotating base to rotate to a position in which a receptacle is beneath the opening. The receptacle may then be removed from the container and the pills consumed.
