Abstract

There is provided a dispenser with a casing for tablets, capsules and the like, with a drop-out opening closed by a slide for dispensing one tablet at a time, the opening being disposed at the end of a tablet feed duct designed to hold a plurality of tablets in a prearranged position. A shaking/vibrating motion is imparted to the tablet feed duct during dispensing of a tablet so as to prevent bridging of the tablets and blocking of the dispensing passageway.
