[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] An external view of the medicine box is shown in Figure 1. Medicine box 1 is composed of an upper surface 2 with a hole 3 provided approximately in the center, a slit partition surface 8, and an opening / closing lid 5 for placing a medicine bag on said partition surface 8. Medicine box 1 is divided into an upper space 6 and a lower space 7 by partition surface 8. An opening 11 is provided in the lower space 7, and a slide 9 is installed facing the opening 11.

[0011] The push rod is shown in Figure 2. The push rod 4 has a sticker 41 with the user's ID attached to the top of the rod.

[0012] The medicine envelope is shown in Figure 3. The medicine envelope 10 has a sticker 101 with a user ID attached.

[0013] An example of use of the medicine box 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a medicine bag 10 placed on the partition surface 8. The staff member opens the opening / closing lid 5 to place the medicine bag 10, which has been selected in advance for each user, on the partition surface 8. After the medicine bag 10 is placed, the opening / closing lid 5 is closed. At this time, the staff member confirms that the user's ID 21 (see FIG. 5) on the top surface 2 matches the ID 101 of the medicine bag 10. At this time, the push rod 4 is inserted into the hole 3 on the top surface 2.

[0014] Next, FIG. 5 shows the state in which the medicine bag 10 is being taken out. The staff member providing medicine to the user checks that the sticker 41 with the user ID affixed to the top of the push rod 4 matches the sticker 21 with the user ID affixed to the top surface 2 of the medicine box, and the sticker 101 with the user ID affixed to the medicine bag 10. The medicine bag 10 (see Figure 4) placed on the partition surface 8 is pushed out by the push rod 4 and dropped into the lower space 7 via the slide 9. The staff member can retrieve the medicine bag 10 that has been dropped through the opening 11. In this way, the staff member can provide the medicine accurately to the user and will not mistakenly provide medicine to another user.

[0015] The ID described in this embodiment may be any ID that can identify an individual, such as a user number, a user name, a photo of the user, or an illustration.

[0016] In this embodiment, the medicine bag 10 is used for explanation, but it is not limited to this and may be a single medicine, nasal drops, or eye drops. [Explanation of symbols]
