Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention provides a control device for a drug packaging machine that can selectively package one or several types of drugs based on different prescriptions for each patient in hospitals and the like. Regarding.

(b) Prior art A drug packaging machine inputs the drug type and number of drugs in advance using a key, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-48362 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 54-38887. This is a configuration that continuously creates sachets based on Therefore, the control device of a drug packaging machine is also applied to drug inventory management in order to input the drug type and number of drugs based on the prescription, but there is still no tablet packaging machine with such a function. . However, drug packaging machines that selectively package many types of drugs currently only package tablets and cannot package liquids, powders, etc. Therefore, hospital pharmacy operators are forced to use packaging machines sent from each clinical department. Packaging is performed by selecting and inputting only the drugs that can be packaged into a drug packaging machine from a prescription. Therefore, since conventional drug packaging machines cannot input all types of drugs that are instructed to be taken in a prescription, it is currently impossible to manage the inventory of all drugs at a pharmacy.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides a control device for a drug packaging machine that can manage the inventory of all drug types in a pharmacy, including those that cannot be packaged separately by a drug packaging machine.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention stores input drug types and the number of drugs as prescription data, and also detects types of input drug types that cannot be packaged in a packaging machine and divides them into prescription data. If a drug type that cannot be packaged is included, control data is created in which the number of drugs for this drug type is corrected to "0", and the product is packaged based on the control data.
The system is configured to accumulate the number of drugs for each drug type based on prescription data upon completion of packaging.

(E) Embodiments of the invention FIG. 1 shows an external view of a tablet packaging machine, in which the operating device 1
0 and a packaging machine 11. Controller 1
0 creates prescription data by operating keys on the key input unit 12 and transfers it to the packaging machine 11, and performs a packaging operation based on the prescription data transferred to the packaging machine 11.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the packaging machine 11, in which a tablet case storage section 11 is formed in the upper part, and a hopper 2, a shutter 3, and a tablet packaging mechanism 4 are provided below.
is located. Tablet cases 5...5 are placed in the tablet case storage section 1 according to the type of tablet, and the tablet cases 5...5 are driven by the input of a predetermined extraction signal to extract the tablet.
It is configured to be introduced into the hopper 2 through a falling passage (not shown). The tablet packaging mechanism 4 includes a roller 7 wound with wrapping paper 6 that can be thermally welded and folded in half in advance, a tension roller 8, and a vertical roller that vertically heat-seals the wrapping paper 6 to form a continuous pouch. It consists of a heat sealing mechanism 9, a lateral heat sealing mechanism 10 that seals the upper opening of the pouch into which tablets are placed, and a feed roller 11. Then, the feed roller 11 is driven intermittently to convey the wrapping paper 6, and when the conveyance is stopped, the packaging bag is formed by vertical heat sealing, the tablets are inserted into the packaging bag by opening the shutter 3, and the packaging paper is packaged by horizontal heat sealing. Each operation of sealing the bag is performed.

FIG. 3 shows a control device for a tablet packaging machine according to the present invention, where 13 is a control device on the operating device 10 side, and 14 is a control device on the packaging machine 11 side, which converts transmitted data into serial data and converts received data into parallel data. They are connected by a transmission line 17 via interfaces 15 and 16. The control device 13 includes a central processing unit 18, a system memory 19 in which control procedures for the operating device 10 are programmed, a keyboard interface 20 that detects operations on the key input unit 12 and generates key input signals, and a CRT 22. It is equipped with a controller 21 that controls the display, drug file memories M ₁₁ to _{M 1o} and prescription data memories M ₂₁ to M _2o corresponding to each drug type, a control data memory M ₃ , and registers R ₃ and R ₄ . are doing. The control device 14 includes a system memory 25 in which control procedures for the packaging machine 11 are programmed, a packaging machine controller 28 that controls the packaging operation of the packaging machine 11, a central processing unit 24, a memory _M4 , and a control counter 27. and,
It is equipped with registers R ₁ and R ₂ .

FIG. 4 shows that the control device 13
This is a flowchart showing the operation when registering the name/abbreviation code and code number of all drugs handled at a pharmacy in _M11 to _M1o . will be started. At the _N0 step, an arbitrary code number for the drug type is input by operating the tension of the key input section 12. At this time, if the drug to be registered can be packaged in the packaging machine 11 and filled in any of the tablet cases 5...5, a code number other than "0" is input using the numeric keypad, and the packaging If the powder or liquid medicine cannot be packaged by the machine 11, "0" is input using the numeric keypad. The _N1 step stores key-input code number data in the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o . Drug file memory M ₁₁ corresponding to each drug type
~M _1o are storage areas as shown in Figure 5, respectively.
It has _m7 , _m8 , _m9 , and _m10 , and the code number data for each drug is stored in the storage area _m7 . Then, when the abbreviation for the drug type is key-input in step _N2 , it is determined in step _N3 whether this abbreviation overlaps with the abbreviation of another drug that has already been registered, and if there is no overlap, N In _four steps, the abbreviation code is stored in the storage area _m9 of the corresponding storage units _M11 to _M1o . For example, when "A" is input as an abbreviation for a drug named "A tablet", a character code representing the letter "A" is stored in the storage area _m8 . On the other hand, if there is a duplicate code, the process moves from step _N3 to step _N2 and waits for the code to be entered again. However
When the drug name of the drug type is key-input in step _N5 , each character composing the drug name is stored in the memory area m ₉ by character code in step _N6 .
Store in. This process is repeated for each drug type to register the code number data, abbreviation code, and drug name in the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o , and in step _N7 , the function key indicating the end of registration in the key input section 12 is operated. When it is detected that it has been registered, the registration operation is terminated.

The control device 14 performs packaging control based on control data transmitted from the control device 13, but the control device 1
The transfer mode between 3 and 14 starts when the control device 14 transmits a transfer request signal to the control device 13.
At this time, the control device 14 periodically outputs this transfer request signal without performing packaging control. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the normal operation of the control device 13.
Processing based on this flowchart is always executed except for registration operations for M ₁₁ to M _1o . The _N10 step stores "1" in register _R3 and sets the transfer number to 1, and also stores "0" in register _R4 .
In step _N11 , the presence or absence of a transfer request signal from the control device 14 is determined. If the transfer request signal is not output, it is determined in step _N12 whether or not there is a key input. When the key input section 12 is operated,
When the abbreviation of the medicine to be administered in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before bedtime, the number of medicines, and the number of days to be taken are entered using the key, in the _N13 step, prescription data based on the contents of the key entry is created according to the format shown in Figure 7. is created and stored in any of the prescription data memories M ₂₁ to M _2o , but it will be stored in the prescription data memory M ₂₁ below.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart explaining the operation at step _N13 . When the abbreviation of a drug is keyed in in step _n0 , the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o are indexed in step _n1 to determine which drug has been keyed in, and step _n2 follows. However, if the same abbreviation as the keyed-in abbreviation is not stored in any of the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o , the process returns to step _n0 and waits for the abbreviation to be input again. The _n2 step reads the code number and drug name of the drug that match the key-input abbreviation from the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o , and stores them in storage areas _m5 and _m6 of the prescription data memory _M21 , respectively. .
Then, in step _n3 , when the number of drugs for each morning, afternoon, evening, and before bedtime is input, in step _n4 , each address from 0 to 3 in the storage area _m2 of the prescription data memory _M21 is・When data on the number of drugs for lunch, evening, and before bedtime is written, and there is a key input in step _n5 , it is determined in step _n6 whether the content of the key input is an abbreviation related to the drug or the number of days to take it. When multiple types of tablets are packaged in one sachet, the abbreviation is input again, so the process returns to the _n1 step and the same process is repeated, and the processing data memory _M21 stores data matching this abbreviation. Code number, drug name,
The number of drugs is stored. After setting the drugs and number of drugs to be packed in one sachet, and entering the number of days of administration in step _n5 , the process starts from step _n6 .
In step _n7 , the number of days data is stored in the storage area _m1 of the prescription data memory _M21 . In the _n8 step, the total number of sachets for morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime is calculated by inputting the number of days data, and the prescription data memory is stored.
Store in each address 0 to 3 of storage area _m3 of _M21 . In step _n9 , the transfer number stored in register _R3 is written to storage area _m4 of prescription data memory _M21 , and in step _n10 , the contents of register _R3 are incremented by 1 and the transfer number is advanced by one. teN ₁₁
Move to step. If the prescription data key is input again while the transfer request signal has not been sent, the prescription data is stored in the memory M ₂₂ , but at this time, the storage area of the prescription data memory M ₂₂ is
Since the contents of register _R3 have been incremented by 1, the transfer number advanced by one is stored in _m4 .

Figure 9 shows the CRT22 at the time of key input.
It shows the display contents, including the drug name specified by the operator's key input and the morning, afternoon, and
The number of drugs to be taken in the evening and before going to bed and the number of days are shown on the display sections 31, 32,
33, and the code numbers read from the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o based on the abbreviations are displayed on the display section 34. In the input example shown in Fig. 9, tablets A, B, and C are packed for 7 days each in the morning, noon, and evening, and one powder E is packed in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before bedtime. This indicates that a key input has been made to package each unit for 7 days. In addition, the powder medicine E powder is
The packaging machine 11 cannot package the packaged medicines, so they are packaged manually or using other packaging machines dedicated to powdered medicines, but they are input for inventory management. Therefore, each drug code number data of A, B, C, and E is written in each storage area _m5 from No. 1 to No. 4 of the prescription data memory M ₂₁ , and In each storage area _m2 that stores drug count data up to .3, drug count data ``1'' is written to addresses 0 to 2 corresponding to morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime, and ``1'' is written to address 3. 0"
is written, and each address 0 of storage area _m2 of No. 4
3 are respectively written with "1", and the number of days data "7" is written in the storage area _m1 . Then, by inputting the drug number data and the number of days data, the total number of sachets for morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime is calculated and stored in each address 0 to 3 of the storage area _m3 .
It is displayed on the display section 35 of No. 2. Furthermore, since Powder E cannot be packaged in the packaging machine 11, the code number "0" is stored in the prescription data memory M ₂₁ , but the display section 34 of the CRT 22 displays "..." for Powder E. This indicates that it cannot be packaged.

After creating the prescription data in this way, the program returns to the _N11 step, and when it detects that a transfer request signal is being sent from the control device 14, the _N14 step is reached and the contents of the register _R4 are other than "0". Determine whether the value is . When the packaging machine 11 is in a packaging operation, the register _R4 stores the transfer number of the prescription data that is the basis of the packaging operation at this time. Therefore, currently, when the packaging machine 11 has stopped its wrapping operation, the contents of register _R4 are "0", so _N10
The process moves to step and determines the presence or absence of prescription data. Then, when the prescription data is stored in the prescription data memory _M21 by the process of the _N13 step described above, the prescription data is stored in the prescription data memory _M21 at the _N20 step.
The transfer number stored in the storage area _m4 of is written to the register _R4 , and the controller ₁₄
The prescription data to be transferred to the computer is converted into control data according to the format shown in FIG. Incidentally, if prescription data is stored in any two or more of the prescription data memories _M21 to _M2o , the prescription data stored in the storage area _m4 with the smallest transfer number is selected.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart for creating control data, in which the _n20 step selects memories _M21 to _M2o that store prescription data, and stores each storage area _m5.m of the selected memory _M21 . ₂ specifies the first storage area m ₅ /m ₂ . The _n21 step transfers the drug code number data stored in the storage area _m5 of the prescription data memory _M21 to the control data memory _M3.
write to the storage area m ₅ ′. Control data memory _M5
is the storage area _m2 of the prescription data memory _M21 to _M2o .
It has storage areas m ₂ ′, m ₃ ′, and m ₅ ′ corresponding to m ₃ and m ₅ . The _n22 step determines whether the code number data stored in the storage area _m5 ' is "0",
If it is other than "0", it becomes n ₂₃ steps and each address 0 to ₂ of storage area m 2 of prescription data memory M ₂₁ is processed.
The data on the number of medicines for each morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime stored in M3 are stored in each address 0 to 3 of the storage area _{m2 '} of the control data memory M3. In the case of "0", "0" is written in each address 0 to 3 of the storage area _{m2 '} of the control data memory M3 in step _n24 . The _n25 step shifts the storage areas _m5 and _m2 of the prescription data memory _M21 , respectively, and the _n26 step determines whether all the storage areas _m5 of the prescription data memory _M21 have been designated. Takes n ₂₁ steps to n ₂₆
Repeat the process up to step _n20 to save the storage area _m5 of the prescription data memory _M21 selected in step n20.
The code number data of the drug stored in is transferred to the control data memory _M3 , and if the code number data is other than "0", the data of the number of drugs of the drug type is written as is to the control data memory _M3 , If it is "0", the drug number data of the drug type is corrected to "0" and written in the control data memory _M3 .
Therefore, in the input example shown in FIG. 9, the storage areas m ₅ ' from No. 1 to No. 3 of the control data memory M ₃ contain code number data for each tablet A, B, and C, and No. 4. ``0'' is written in the storage area _m5 ' corresponding to the powder E, and data from No. 1 of the control data memory _M3 is written.
“1” is written to addresses 0 to 2 of each storage area m ₂ ′ up to No. 3, “0” is written to address 3, and 0 to 3 of storage area m ₂ ′ of No. 4 is written. "0" is written to each address.

The n ₂₇ step specifies the first address 0 in the storage area m ₃ of the storage section of the prescription data memory M ₂₁ selected in the n ₂₀ step, and also specifies each storage area m ₂ ′ and m ₃ ′ of the control data memory M ₃ . Specify address 0 of each. In step _n28 , it is determined whether the logical sum of the drug number data for each drug type stored at address 0 of each storage area _m2 ' is "0". At this time, address 0 of each storage area m ₂ '
If at least one of the drug count data stored in is other than "0", the storage area m ₃ will be reduced in n ₂₀ steps.
The total number of packets for the morning stored at address 0 of the control data memory _M3 is stored in the storage area of the control data memory M3.
Write to address 0 of m ₃ '. Also each storage area
If the drug count data stored at address 0 of m ₂ ' is all "0", "0" is written to address 0 of storage area m ₃ ' of control data memory M ₃ in step _n30 . The _n31 step shifts the address in the storage area _m3 of the storage section of the prescription data memory _M2 selected in the _n27 step from 0 to 1, and
The addresses of each storage area m ₂ ' of the control data memory M ₃ are all shifted from 0 to 1, and the n ₃₂ step determines whether the address of the storage area m ₃ of the prescription data memory M ₂ has exceeded, and the address is If it is within 3, move to _n28 step. The control data memory is then processed from step _n28 to step _n32 .
Determine whether or not the daytime total number of packets data needs to be corrected based on whether the logical sum of drug number data for each drug type stored at each address 1 of each storage area m ₂ ' of M ₃ is "0". If it is other than "0", no modification is necessary and the storage area is
Write the data stored at address 1 of m ₃ to address 1 of storage area m ₃ ′, and if it is “0”, write “0” to address 1 of storage area m ₃ ′ and write the total number of packages data. Correct. Similarly, the total number of sachets for the evening and before going to bed is determined to be corrected by the processing from step _n28 to step _n32 , respectively, and is stored in addresses 2 and ₃ of storage area _m3 ' of control data memory M3. Predetermined data is written respectively. When the address of the prescription data memory _M2 exceeds the storage area _m2 , the process moves from step _N22 . Therefore, according to the prescription input in this example, only powder E is to be taken before bedtime, and the logical sum of the data stored at address 3 of each storage area m ₂ ' in control data memory M ₃ is " 0”, storage area
The corrected value "0" is written to address 3 of m ₃ '.

In the _N22 step, the total number of sachets for each morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime stored in addresses 0 to 3 of the storage area _m3 ' of the control data memory _M3 is all "0".
If it is "0", there is no need to separate packages using the packaging machine 11, and the process returns to step _N11 . However, if the total number of packages in at least one of the morning, noon, evening, and before bedtime periods is other than 0, the packaging machine 11 must be used to package the packages, and the control data is controlled in step _N23. The control data is transferred to the device 14, but at this time, the control data is serially converted by the interface 15 and transmitted. After the transfer is completed, the process returns to step _N11 , but since the control device 14 is controlling the packaging of the packaging machine 11 by receiving the control data, it does not output a transfer request signal. Therefore, the control device 13 repeatedly determines whether or not there is a key input in step _N12 , and if there is a key input, the step goes to step _N13 , and the key is stored in any prescription data memory _M21 to _{N2o that} does not store prescription data. Store input data.

The operation of the control device 14 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the transfer request signal is output and control data is received at the N ₀ ′ step, the N ₁ ′ step changes to the N ₂ ′ step, and the control data is stored in the memory.
Store in _M4 . Memory M ₄ has storage areas corresponding to each storage area m _{2 ′} , m ₃ ′, m ₅ ′ of memory M 3.
Equipped with m ₂ ″, m ₃ ″, and m ₅ ″, each has drug count data and
Stores total package number data and drug type code number data. In the N ₃ ' step, the ternary control counter 27, which repeatedly counts from "0" to "3" each time 1 is added, is set to "0". The N ₄ ′ step determines whether the contents of the storage area m ₃ ″ of the memory M ₄ are “0”. Storage area m ₃ ″
The total number of sachets is stored in four addresses from 0 to 3 corresponding to daytime, evening, and before bedtime, but in this case, address 0 is specified because the content CN of the control counter 27 is "0". Then, it is determined whether the morning total number of sachets data is "0". In this example, the number of packets to be taken in the morning is for 7 days, and the process moves to the _N5 ' step. N ₅ ′ step is the storage area of memory M ₄
The code number data stored in m ₅ ″ is stored in register R ₁ , and the drug number data stored in storage area m ₂ ″ is stored in register R ₂ . At this time, regarding the storage area m ₂ '', since the content CN of the control counter 27 is "0", first the drug number data stored at address 0 of each storage area m ₂ '' is read out and stored in the register R ₂ . Therefore, the code number data for each tablet A, B, and C is written in register _R1 , and the data on the number of medicines for the morning packet for these tablet types is written in register _R2 . The N ₆ ′ step determines whether the contents of register R ₂ are “0” or not, but if the drug count data of at least one tablet type for each tablet type A, B, and C is other than “0”, N ₇ ' step and the tablet extraction operation. In the _N7 ' step, the code number data for the tablet types whose drug number data is other than "0" is read out from the register _R1 and introduced into the packaging machine controller 28. Then, the packaging machine controller 28 outputs an extraction signal to the tapet cases 5...5 storing various tablets A, B, and C.
Therefore, the tablet cases 5 to which the extraction signal has been introduced are driven to extract one tablet.
In the _N8 ' step, "1" is subtracted from the drug number data for the tablet type for which the extraction operation was performed.
N ₆ Return to step. In this example, each drug A, B, and C are packed one tablet each in the morning packet, so the drug count data for each drug A, B, and C stored in register _R2 is "0". becomes. Therefore, one morning packet of tablets is extracted and introduced into the hopper 2, and the packaging operation is performed in the next step _N9 '. At step _N9 ', the packaging machine controller 28 gives control signals to the shutter 3, the horizontal heat sealing mechanism 10, and the vertical heat sealing mechanism 9, respectively, to control each operation of inserting tablets, sealing sachets, and forming sachets, Thereafter, a control signal is applied to the drive device of the feed roller 11 to transport the wrapping paper 6 by a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction, thereby completing the wrapping operation of the morning dose packet. At the _N10 ' step, the content of the control counter 27 is ``0''.
Specify address 0 of the storage area m <sub>3</sub> ″ of M <sub>4</sub> and subtract “1” from the data stored there,
In step <sub>N11</sub> ', it is determined whether the data at all addresses 0 to 3 in the storage area <sub>m3</sub> '' are "0". In this case, one packet for the morning dose has been completed and "1" has been subtracted from the data at address 0 in the storage area m <sub>3</sub> '', and the content CN of the control counter 27 is set to "0" at step <sub>N12</sub> '. ” to “1”
N <sub>4</sub> Return to step. Then, in the N <sub>4</sub> ' step, since the content of the control counter 27 is "1",
Address 1 of m <sub>3</sub> '' is specified and it is determined whether the content is ``0'', but at this time, the content of address 1 is ``7'', so the process moves to the N ₅ ' step and the daytime portion packaging operation is performed. becomes.

In the N ₅ ′ step, the code number data stored in the storage area m ₅ ″ is stored in register R ₁ , and
The medicine number data stored at address 1 of each storage area m ₂ ″ is stored in register R _2. Then
When going from the N ₆ ′ step to the N ₇ ′ step, tablet cases 5...5 for tablet types whose drug number data stored in register R ₂ are other than "0"
Remove the tablet from the N ₈ ′ step and register R ₂
Subtract "1" from the drug count data. In this example,
Since the daytime packets also contain each drug, A, B, and C, one tablet at a time, the data on the number of drugs in register _R2 is all "0" and the steps are from _N6 ' step to _N9 '. In the _N9 ' step, the one daytime packet of tablets taken out into the hopper 2 is wrapped.
In the _N10 ' step, "1" is subtracted from the data stored at address 1 of the storage area _m3 " to store that the daytime one-pack operation has been completed. and
When the step changes from the N ₁₁ ' step to the N ₁₂ ' step, the content CN of the control counter 27 is advanced from "1" to "2". Therefore, from the next N ₄ ′ step, since the content of the control counter 27 is “2”, the storage area m ₅ ″・
m ₂ '' is specified by address 2, and processing is performed for the evening sachet operation. After that, when the evening sachet operation is completed, the contents of the control counter 27 are
Advance CN from "2" to "3" and return to the N ₄ ' step. At this time, the content of address 3 of the storage area m ₃ '' is "0", and the step is from N ₄ ' to N ₁₁ '. That is, in the input prescription of this example, since the E-powder which cannot be packaged by the packaging machine 11 before going to bed is packaged, the packaging operation for the dose taken before going to bed is omitted. Then, in step _N12 ', the content of the control counter 27 is advanced from "3" to "0",
Processing for morning parcels is performed again. In this way, addresses 0 to 3 of storage area m ₃ ' of memory M ₄
The packaging operation is repeated in the order of morning, noon, and evening until all the data stored in is 0. When the packaging of 7-packs for 7 days in the morning, afternoon, and evening is completed, it is assumed that the packaging for one input prescription has been completed, and the process returns from the N ₁₁ ' step to the N ₀ ' step.
Then, in step N ₀ ', a signal requesting transfer of prescription data regarding the next packaging operation is transmitted to the control device 13.

When the control device 13 detects in step _N11 that the control device 14 is outputting a transfer request signal, it transfers the prescription data to the control device 14 and stores the transfer number in register _R4 . Because of this, the number of steps is _N15 instead of _N14 .
N ₁₆ step selects the drug file memory corresponding to the drug name stored in the prescription data memory M ₂₁ .
_M11 to _M1o are indexed, and the cumulative number of medicines is recorded in the medicine number storage area _m10 of the memory in step _N16 . _N17
In step clear prescription data memory _M21 ,
At the _N18 step, set register _R4 to ``0'' and set _N19.
It becomes a step. In this way, the control device 13 determines whether or not there is a transfer request signal at step _N11 to indicate that the packaging operation based on the transferred control data has been completed.
Judging from the contents of register _R4 in step _N14 , the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o corresponding to the drug type indicated in the packaged prescription data are specified and stored in the storage area _m10 . The data on the number of drugs for the relevant drug type is added to the cumulative number of drugs in the list. and any prescription data memory _M22 to _M2o
If the prescription data is stored in , control data is created again, and in the case of a drug type that can be packaged by the packaging machine 11 , this control data is transferred to the control device 14 . The data stored in the drug file memories M ₁₁ to M _1o can be transferred to the CRT by inputting a display command to the central processing unit 18 by operating a predetermined key on the key input section 12 to instruct the display of such data.
22. That is, in the flowchart of FIG. 6, it is determined in step N24 that the display command has been generated in a state where no transfer request signal has been transmitted from the control device 14 and no prescription input has been made to the key input section ₁₂ . When detected, the data stored in the drug file memories _M11 to _M1o is introduced into the CRT controller 21 at step _N25 .
The CRT22 displays the code number, abbreviation code, drug name, and cumulative number of drugs for each drug type.

(F) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, when the drug type and the number of drugs are input, the information on whether or not to pack the drug stored as prescription data is used to select types that cannot be packaged by the packaging machine based on the input drug type. If there is a drug type that cannot be packaged, the number of drugs is corrected to "0" and the packaging operation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to enter all types of drugs handled at pharmacies, including drugs that cannot be packaged with a packaging machine, according to the prescription.
A drug packaging machine with a drug management function in a pharmacy is provided.
