A conveyer conveys a medicine container, from a storage site storing a plurality of the medicine containers each containing a medicine, to a delivery site where the medicine is removed from the medicine container, and returns, from the delivery site to the storage site, the medicine container from which the contained medicine is partially removed. A standby site where the medicine container unloaded from the storage site and directed toward the delivery site is allowed to stand by is located between the storage site and the delivery site. The medicine container containing the medicine determined not to be used for subsequent medicine preparation is returned from the standby site to the storage site. The medicine container containing the medicine determined to be used also for the subsequent medicine preparation is caused to stand by at the standby site until the subsequent medicine preparation, without being returned to the storage site.
