To develop a medicine dispensing device capable of reducing the number of refilling of a medicine container with powdered medicine.SOLUTION: A medicine dispensing device comprises a plurality of medicine containers 4 filled with powdered medicine, a container storage part 23, a distribution tray 35, a scraping-out device, container moving means 28, and a medicine packaging device 53. A predetermined medicine container 4 is taken out from the container storage part 23 by the container moving means 28 and placed on a container placing device 36. The powdered medicine is scraped out from the medicine container 4 and fed into the distribution tray 35. The powdered medicine fed into the distribution tray 35 by the scraping-out device is scraped out from a medicine feeding groove, and the medicine is packaged by the medicine packaging device 53. The medicine containers 4 have a container group for filling the containers with the same kind of powdered medicine. In accordance with a predetermined rule, one of the medicine containers 4 belonging to the container group is moved to the container placing device 36 by the container moving means 28 and placed on the container placing device 36 to feed the powdered medicine into the distribution tray 35.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】薬剤容器への散薬の再充填の回数を減少させることができる薬剤払出し装置を開発する。【解決手段】散薬が充填される複数の薬剤容器４と、容器保管部２３と、分配皿３５と、掻出装置と、容器移動手段２８と、薬剤包装装置５３を有する。容器移動手段２８によって容器保管部２３から所定の薬剤容器４を取り出して容器載置装置３６に載置し、薬剤容器４から散薬を排出させて分配皿３５に投入し、掻出装置によって分配皿３５に投入された散薬を薬剤投入溝から掻き出し、薬剤包装装置５３によって薬剤を包装する。薬剤容器４には同種の散薬を充填する容器グループがあり、所定の規則に則って容器グループに属する薬剤容器４のいずれかが容器移動手段２８によって容器載置装置３６に移動され、容器載置装置３６に載置されて散薬を分配皿３５に投入する。【選択図】図２
