The invention relates to a pill dispenser (1), which has a sleeve (2) and a magazine (3) guided in this sleeve (2) to hold a stack of pills. For filling purposes, the magazine can be partially pushed out of the sleeve (2) in the longitudinal direction (4) of the magazine against the force of a spring (5) and receives at its upper end a cap (6) in a pivotally adjustable manner, which cap (6) is pivotally adjustable against the force of a spring (7) from a rest position into a dispensing position and supports a decorative head (8). In order to create advantageous fastening conditions for the decorative head, it is proposed that the cap (6) has a transverse guide (9) onto which the at least two-part, in particular at least two-shell, decorative head (8) is pushed transversely to the longitudinal direction (4) of the magazine.
