A medicine dispensing apparatus, comprising: a hopper comprising a base wall, the hopper receiving a medicine on the base wall with inclination and causes the medicine to proceed downwardly to a guiding port of the hopper along the base wall in a proceeding direction; a holding section that is provided to the hopper and blocks the medicine proceeding due to the inclination of the hopper; and a delivering section that is provided to the hopper and delivers the medicine blocked by the holding section to the guiding port so that the medicine proceeds on the hopper; characterized in that the hopper comprises a side wall and a shaft member, the shaft member being placed along an horizontal axis line (32a1) and supported by the side wall so as to be rotatable around the axis line (32a1), the axis line (32a1) being orthogonal to the proceeding direction; the delivering section is formed in a plate shape extending along a direction of the axis line (32a1); the holding section is formed in a plate shape extending along a direction of the axis line (32a1); the delivering section rotates around the axis line (32a1) to push or drive the medicine blocked by the holding section along the base wall toward the guiding port with a plate surface; the holding section and the delivering section are integrally formed via the shaft member and configured to rotate as a unit; the holding section comprises an end section (32b1) and the delivering section comprises an end section (32c1) which are made of an elastic material or composed of brushes; and the shaft member is rotated by a stepper motor controlled by a controller. a hopper comprising a base wall, the hopper receiving a medicine on the base wall with inclination and causes the medicine to proceed downwardly to a guiding port of the hopper along the base wall in a proceeding direction; a holding section that is provided to the hopper and blocks the medicine proceeding due to the inclination of the hopper; and a delivering section that is provided to the hopper and delivers the medicine blocked by the holding section to the guiding port so that the medicine proceeds on the hopper; characterized in that the hopper comprises a side wall and a shaft member, the shaft member being placed along an horizontal axis line (32a1) and supported by the side wall so as to be rotatable around the axis line (32a1), the axis line (32a1) being orthogonal to the proceeding direction; the delivering section is formed in a plate shape extending along a direction of the axis line (32a1); the holding section is formed in a plate shape extending along a direction of the axis line (32a1); the delivering section rotates around the axis line (32a1) to push or drive the medicine blocked by the holding section along the base wall toward the guiding port with a plate surface; the holding section and the delivering section are integrally formed via the shaft member and configured to rotate as a unit; the holding section comprises an end section (32b1) and the delivering section comprises an end section (32c1) which are made of an elastic material or composed of brushes; and the shaft member is rotated by a stepper motor controlled by a controller.
