A tablet cassette that facilitates adjustment of the widths of tablet containing spaces includes a tablet container for containing tablets in a random manner, and a rotor provided in the tablet container and having a plurality of tablet receiving portions. Tablets having fallen down into the tablet receiving portions because of rotation of the rotor are allowed to consecutively fall down through a discharge port in a bottom wall portion of the tablet container. The rotor includes a circumferential expansion-contraction mechanism and a radial expansion-contraction mechanism externally mounted on an inserted portion of a rotary shaft that penetrates the bottom wall portion of the tablet container. The circumferential expansion-contraction mechanism can expand and contract the plurality of tablet receiving portions in the circumferential direction in conjunction with each other. The radial expansion-contraction mechanism can individually expand and contract the tablet receiving portions in the radial direction.

A medical dispensing system with dispensing and pathway components, each of which of a plurality of dispensers and pathways, respectively. The dispensing and pathway components are controlled to minimize contamination between the items being dispensed. Both the dispensing and pathway components have arcs around which the dispensers and pathways are arranged.

A drug cassette including a solid-preparation receiving portion, a lid member, lid locking means configured to hold the lid member in a locked state provided to the drug cassette, a cassette placement portion configured to place the drug cassette, removing/locking means and lid locking operation means configured to prevent removal of the drug cassette, provided to the cassette placement portion. After the lid locking means is brought into an unlocking state by the lid locking operation means, until the lid locking operation means operates in accordance with an operation by an operator so that the lid locking means is locked, the unlocking state of the lid locking means is maintained. After the lid locking means is locked by the lid locking operation means, the removing/locking means is cancelled, and the drug cassette is brought into a state of being removable from the cassette placement portion.
