The apparatus further comprises a LED (201) which is turned on when the tablets are fed to the tablet reserving member (200) and a sensor (206, 301a, 301b) for detecting opening or closing operation of the shutter (203), whereby when the sensor (206, 301a, 301b) detects the opening operation of the shutter (203,300), the LED (201) is turned off.
