Abstract: The drug inspection apparatus includes: a pre-inspection storage portion that temporarily stores a drug group which is a plurality of drugs collectively charged, and spreads the individual drugs in an elongated and substantially one row; a transfer processing portion that transfers the spread drug group to a conveyance path; a conveyance inspection processing portion that conveys the drug group on the conveyance path, and has an inspection imaging portion that takes images of the drug group with a camera; a discharge processing portion that discharges the imaged drug group to a post-inspection storage portion; the post-inspection storage portion that temporarily stores the drug group, and then discharges the drug group to the outside of the apparatus; and an inspection control portion that executes, by software control, a control of operations of each portion, and an inspection process for the drug group, which uses the captured image.

Abstract: A drug inspection apparatus includes an inspection processing portion for collating a photographed image of each drug with drug master data for a dispensed drug group; and determines a normal result when the photographed image is contained in the drug group, as an uncertain result when it is uncertain if the photographed image is a drug in the drug group, and as a result to be confirmed when it is estimated that the photographed image is a drug contained in the drug group, but recommended to be confirmed by a person. The inspection result processor displays the photographed image corresponding to the drug which needs to be confirmed in a first display field that is provided corresponding to each drug which has been identified in the inspection process, on the inspection process screen, and displays the photographed image which has been determined as uncertain, in a second display field.
