【正文】 as the medicine preparation date. Desired prescription data are inputted to frames below the patient number by the operator (pharmacist). For example, when key board inputs are given as the patient number “98038671”, the corresponding patient name (Kana characters, Chinese characters), sex (male=1, female=2) and date of birth (name of era: Meiji=1, Taisho=2, Showa=3, Heisei=4) are read from the patient master file, and displayed. With respect to the age, the corresponding age is displayed by calculating from the present date and the date of birth. The date on which the prescription is issued by the doctor is displayed as the prescription date. Although the present date is displayed at first, any desired date can be overwritten and inputted. When respective codes are inputted to the medical organization, medical care section, doctor, ward and prescription frames, the respective name data are read from the various corresponding master files, and displayed. For example, “01” is inputted as the medical care section code, “internal medicine” is displayed. Outpatient/inpatient code (outpatient=1, inpatient=2) is a classifying code for patients. Exchange number is the number of “medicine exchanging card” that is passed to only the outpatients upon pletion of the accounting process. Since this example shows an outpatient prescription, the inpatientuse ward code and ward number are left blank.A serial number of “prescription” in which not less than one medicines and the applications are bined is inputted to the frame “prescription No.”. With respect to the “prescription”, a plurality of them can be inputted. Then, the medicines are packed basically on the basis of “prescription”, that is, on the basis of prescription No. data. “Code” frames are frames used for inputting medicine codes or application codes. When these codes are inputted, name data are read from the medicine master file or the application master file and displayed. Although “code” frames are normally used for inputting a medicine code (for example, “Tab. A”), when the “/” symbol is inputted at the head of the frame, an application code can be inputted on the following portion (for example, “301”). Here, the medicine name corresponding to the medicine code and the application name corresponding to the application code “301”, that is, “after breakfast, lunch and dinner” are displayed. With respect to the “dose/days” frame, a daily dose of the medicine is inputted in the medicine line on which the medicine code has been inputted. Units (T, CAP, g, etc.) are read out from the medicine master file, and displayed. Here, in the application line in which the application code has been inputted, the number of days is inputted (for example, “three days39。displays a prescription data input screen and a medicine container attaching and detaching screen.As shown in FIG. 4, the prescription data input screen displays the present date counted by a calendar clock installed in the central processing unit (CPU)are used for operation inputs to the entire medicine packing apparatus, input operations for prescription data and data inputs for various master files such as medicine master files.The display unitand the input unitdrops medicines supplied based upon each application time from a medicine shoot onto packing paper (packing sheet) having a thermal fusing property that is drawn from a packing paper roll, and thermally fuses and seals the lateral and longitudinal portions of the packing paper to successively form packed bags containing the medicines.The display unit2.
