Abstract: An automatic medication dispensing device 101 of the present invention includes supplying means which supplies an accommodated medication based on a prescription instruction, the supplying means includes a head body section 401a, a pocket section 404 which temporarily holds a taken out medication and places the medication on the tray, and an arm section 405 which couples the head body section and the pocket section to each other, the pocket section 404 is turnably connected to one end of the arm section 405 through a first shaft 406, and the other end of the arm section 405 and the head body section 401a are turnably connected to each other through a second shaft 407. Therefore, it is possible to provide an automatic medication dispensing device in which an occupied space, especially a depth dimension of the device is reduced, and the device can prevent a medication ample from being damaged.
