    Abstract: Medicine ejecting apparatus comprising a chamber (13) between first and second housing parts (11, 12). A carrier (16) having ejection members (51, 52, 53) opposite the second housing part (12) is situated in the chamber (13). Opposite the carrier (16), the second housing part (12) can retain a medicine strip (82) of the type having one or more rows of blisters (83, 84) containing a medicine. Bottoms of the blisters (83, 84) are situated opposite ejection openings (14, 15) of the second housing part (12). The housing parts (11, 12) have toothed tracks (21, 31), and the carrier has hook members (41, 48) interacting with the toothed tracks, which hook members are such that, if the housing parts (11, 12) are moved to and fro, the carrier (16) also moves over a distance of one tooth pitch and thereby presses a medicine out of a following blister (83, 84) through the bottom thereof and through an ejection opening (14, 15).
