Previous failures to follow the therapeutic treatment regime are identified. The picture containing the plurality of different medications is analyzed for any counterfeit medications in the dispensed medications. A therapeutic treatment regime report summarizing compliance between each dispensed medication and dosage for each dispensed medication and the therapeutic treatment regime, an identification of all counterfeit medications in the dispensed medications and recommendation to remediate the previous failures are generated.

Disclosed is an improved sealing sheet for use to close a container-defining sheet having a top surface comprising a given number of spaced apart cavities embossed therein, each of the cavities being upwardly opened and thus defining a container that is surrounded by a flange that is part of the top surface of the container-defining sheet. In a first configuration, the number of cavities made in the container-defining sheet is thirty-two, positioned in order to define eight rows and four columns. A row of containers is removable from the container-defining sheet towards a second configuration in which the number of cavities made in the container-defining sheet is twenty-eight. The set of containers can more efficiently cover a prescription that has to be administered over a monthly period, under different dosage schedule scenarios, while reducing unused sections of the resulting blister packs.
