An improved medication dispensing and control assembly is disclosed in which a carton has sidewalls defining a medication dispensing opening, which carton has a bendable top wall connected to the sidewalls in such a manner as to allow the top wall to move between a position closing the medication opening and opened positions allowing removal of medication from the cartons. A frame is removably attached to the top wall so as to maintain planarity of the top wall to thereby facilitate carton opening and closing and maintaining the top wall portion in a closed condition and to resist any undesired bending thereof.
