A dispenser feeds tablets from a storing section to a packaging section. A tablet-adhered powder removal device is provided in a preparation section between the storing section and the packaging section. The preparation section has rotating open-top receiving portions, and the tablets for one package are fed to each receiving section. One side wall of each receiving section includes a fixed plate having a groove-ridge portion, while the opposite side wall includes a swing plate. The swing plate vibrates when a cam roller rides on protrusions during the rotation of the receiving portion. Due to the vibration, the powder adhered to the tablets between the plates is stripped and removed. The powder falls from a gap formed by opening the plates, and is discharged to the outside. When the cam roller rides on a cam, the swing plate is swung and drops the tablets in the receiving portion.
