A medication dispensing assembly includes a canister that has an outer wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of the canister. The top end of the canister is open so the canisters may contain a medication. A lid is coupled to the top end of the canister. A processor is coupled to the canister. A timer is coupled to the canister and the processor. The timer determines a trigger time that the medication is to be removed from the canister. An actuator is coupled to the canister and the processor. The actuator is actuated to determine the trigger time. An alarm is coupled to the canister and the processor. A sensor is coupled to the canister and the processor. The alarm continuously emits an audible alarm until the sensor detects that the lid is positioned in the open position.
