PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drug dispenser which can dispense drugs one by one. SOLUTION: The drug dispenser comprises a cassette 2 wherein drugs are accommodated in line, a bias means for biasing the drugs of the cassette 2 toward one end and a dispensing member fitted at one end of the cassette 2, the dispensing member capable of dispensing the drugs one by one by rotating while holding the drugs in holding recessed parts, and a drug-number-detecting means for detecting the number of drugs in the cassette 2. The drug-number-detecting means comprises a sensor which detects a position of biasing by the bias means in an initial state where no drug is housed in the cassette 2, and an encoder which detects a change in the bias position of the drugs through the bias means by storage of the drug in the cassette 2 from the initial state where it is detected by the sensor.
