The invention relates to an apparatus for arranging medication, the apparatus comprising - a dispensing tray (1; 11; 21 ) provided with at least one seat (2; 22), in which at least one drug, drug dispensing cup (3) or ampoule (23) can be placed, - a data processing device (4; 14; 24) connectible to a data network, con¬ figured to control an indicator (6; 7; 26) provided next to at least one seat (2; 22) in the dispensing tray (1; 11; 21 ), and in which apparatus - the data processing device (4; 14; 24) comprises a memory or the like, in which points of time can be programmed, when an identification signal is automatically transferred to at least one indicator (6, 7; 26) which makes the indicator generate a light and/or audio signal to indicate that the drug or drugs in at least one seat (2, 22) of the dispensing tray (1; 11; 21 ) should be administered, - the seats (2; 22) of the dispensing tray (1, 11; 21 ) are provided with a detecting sensor configured to detect if the drug, dispensing cup (3) or ampoule (23) is present in the seat (2; 22) of the dispensing tray (1; 11; 21 ) or absent from it, - the detecting sensor (8; 28) is connected to the data processing device (4; 14; 24) which is configured to monitor the status of the detecting sensor (8; 28) at predetermined intervals or continuously and to inform a monitoring unit (13), connected to the same data network as the apparatus and configured to receive data transmitted by the data processing device (4; 14; 24) and to give an alarm, if a drug, a dispensing cup (3) or an ampoule (23) in a seat (2; 22) indicated by a detection signal has not been removed from the seat (2; 22) within a predetermined delay time from the transmission of the detection signal to the indicator (6; 7; 26). The invention also relates to a method, in which the medication of a patient is arranged by applying an apparatus according to the invention.L'invention concerne un appareil permettant la mise en place d'une médication, l'appareil co
