[Problem statement] Intend to provide a medicine inspection device to appropriately inspect the quantity of a solid medicine without inspection failure due to stacking up or mutual contact of a solid medicine and due to packaging paper, and a medicine dispensing device equipped with such a medicine inspection device. [MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM] The medicine inspection device 10 is provided with - an inspection unit 14 comprised of a plurality of inspection areas 26a-26c wherein a medicine for inspected is disposed, - a vibrator 16 capable of generating vibrations independently in each inspection area mentioned above, - a shooting means 18 that can photograph a medicine disposed in the inspection unit 14, - a medicine information detector 66 capable of detecting the medicine quantity or type or both based on the image obtained by the shooting means 18, and - a distribution detector 62 that can detect the distribution of a medicine in the inspection unit 14 on the basis of the image obtained by photographing with the shooting means 18. In the medicine inspection device 10, the vibrator 16 generates vibration in an area selected from among the inspection areas 26a-26c based on the detection result of the distribution detector 62.【課題】固形薬剤の重なりや接触、分包紙の存在などに伴う鑑査不良が起こらず、固形薬剤の数量を適切に鑑査可能な薬剤鑑査装置、及び当該薬剤鑑査装置を備えた薬剤払出装置の提供を目的とした。【解決手段】薬剤鑑査装置10は、鑑査対象の薬剤が配置される鑑査領域26a~26cを複数備えた鑑査部14と、前記鑑査領域毎に独立的に振動を発生させることが可能な振動手段16と、鑑査部14に配置された薬剤を撮影可能な撮影手段18と、撮影手段18によって得られた画像に基づき、薬剤の数量及び種類のいずれか一方又は双方を検出可能な薬剤情報検出手段66と、撮影手段18により撮影して得られた画像に基づいて鑑査部14における薬剤の分布を検知する分布検知手段62とを備えている。薬剤鑑査装置10においては、振動手段16が、鑑査領域26a~26cのうち、分布検知手段62の検知結果に基づいて選定される領域において振動を発生させる。【選択図】図4
