A tablet dispensing apparatus that allows easy cleaning of the inner surfaces of temporary storage structures 132 is provided. A simultaneous driving mechanism 133 and a plurality of open-close mechanisms 135 of a plurality of temporary storage structure 132 are coupled to each other by a plurality of coupling structures. The coupling structures are each configured to release the coupling when the entire temporary storage structure 132 or a portion, which includes the open-close mechanism 135, of the temporary storage structure 132 is drawn out of a housing 110, and to establish the coupling when the entire temporary storage structure 132 or the portion, which includes the open-close mechanism 135, of the temporary storage structure 132 is pushed into the housing 110A.
