To provide a drug dispenser that dispenses drugs one by one and a drug counter capable of counting drugs without causing cracking or chipping. The invention has a configuration providing: a rotating container (38) that is shaped so that the diameter increases in the upward direction, is rotated around the axis line thereof as the center by a driving means (electric motor (42)), and to the center of which multiple drugs are supplied； a guide part (54) that is affixed on the upper side of the rotating container (38) at a prescribed interval, extends helically from the center of the rotating container (38) to the periphery, and guides drugs that are moved by the rotation of the rotating container (38) from the center to the periphery； a detecting means (counter (68)) disposed on the outside of the rotating container (38)； and a regulating part (63) that, of the drugs moved to the periphery of the rotating container (38), sends the drugs in contact with the guide part (54) to the detecting means (38) and the drugs not in contact with the guide part (54) over the guide part (54) and back to the center.本發明提供一種不會使藥劑發生碎裂地能夠將藥劑一個一個送出的藥劑送出裝置以及進行計數的藥劑計數裝置。一種藥劑送出裝置及藥劑計數裝置，包括：旋轉容器(38)，其呈向上方直徑擴大的形狀，且由驅動單元(電動機42)以其軸線為中心進行旋轉，並多個藥劑供給到中心部；導向構件(54)，其固定成隔開規定間隔地位於旋轉容器(38)的上表面側，並從該旋轉容器(38)的中心部向外周部螺旋狀延伸，對因旋轉容器(38)的旋轉而移動的藥劑從中心部向外周部進行導向；檢測單元(計數器68)，其配設在旋轉容器(38)的外側；以及限制部(63)，其將移動到限制容器(38)的外周部的藥劑中與導向構件(54)接觸的藥劑送向檢測單元(68)，使不與導向構件(54)接觸的藥劑越過導向構件(54)向中心部側返回。
