• and
• a third transmitter configured to transmit the inputted pharmaceutical injection amount to the portable terminal.

A pharmaceutical injection device that allows setting of a pharmaceutical injection amount from a portable terminal configured to have pharmaceutical injection amount setting conditions for setting the pharmaceutical injection amount inputted, the pharmaceutical injection device comprising:

• a cartridge holder configured to mount a pharmaceutical cartridge thereon;
• a main body case having the cartridge holder to be openably and closeably provided thereto;
• a piston configured to be inserted into the pharmaceutical cartridge mounted to the cartridge holder inside the main body case;
• a piston drive mechanism configured to move the piston so as to insert the piston into the pharmaceutical cartridge;
• a third receiver configured to receive from the portable terminal the pharmaceutical injection amount set on the basis of the pharmaceutical injection amount setting conditions;
• and
• a controller configured to drive the piston drive mechanism on the basis of the received pharmaceutical injection amount, and
• the pharmaceutical injection amount is transmitted to the portable terminal after being set on the basis of the pharmaceutical injection amount setting conditions transmitted from the portable terminal to the health care worker-use information terminal, and then being inputted to the health care worker-use information terminal.
