The medicine storage apparatus provides portable medication storage, identification, and dispensing. Each pie-shaped module is removable from the circular bottom of the revolving member. A domed handle provides easy carry capability. As each module is removable, a user can optionally take each module to a professional for filling with medication. Medications are placed in color-differentiated modules. Each module timer is set as needed. A user can thereby be notified by an alarm when medication time has arrived. Further, the various module colors can indicate the number of times daily a medication is needed. The lid of each module substantially comprises the module top, providing easy access while not encouraging spillage. And, the indicia panel of each module provides sufficient space for labeling, instructions, and other needed information, including Braille indicia.
