Abstract
In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, automated pharmaceutical product packaging systems and methods ensure that a pharmaceutical product package label accurately reflects the contents of the product package. During the packaging process coding techniques are utilized, wherein prior to or immediately after automatically filling a particular pharmaceutical product package with selected pharmaceuticals as specified in a patient prescription, the packaging systems and methods employ a specific code identifier or designator associated with the package to be filled that is recognized by the system. The system maintains information that correlates the identifying code with the particular prescription that is filled into the package. The pharmaceutical product package is preferably automatically filled with the desired specified pharmaceutical products. Subsequently, during the packaging label printing process the product package code or designator is again scanned by the system and a label is thereafter generated that corresponds to the pharmaceutical contained in the package based on the identifying code. The printed label therefore accurately reflects the actual contents of the pharmaceutical product package.
