1. A method for automatically verifying packaging of oral solid pharmaceutical medications comprising:

  • verifying placement of a plurality of oral solid pharmaceuticals into each of a plurality of dispensing containers, each individual dispensing container being dedicated to a specific oral solid pharmaceutical medication;

    automatically transferring a plurality of individual dispensing containers to a staging location of a robotic pick-and-place transfer mechanism and verifying that a specific dispensing container is located at a specific staging location for transferring oral solid pharmaceuticals from the dispensing container;

    using the robotic pick-and-place transfer mechanism to automatically transfer individual oral solid pharmaceutical medications from each of a plurality of dispensing containers to package cavity locations corresponding to patient prescription data and automatically verifying that each oral solid pharmaceutical medication transferred by the robotic pick-and-place transfer mechanism matches predetermined physical parameters of an oral solid pharmaceutical that is specified for transfer into a specific package cavity location based on the patient prescription data;

    automatically verifying each oral solid pharmaceutical has been dropped into the specified package cavity location according to the patient prescription data; and

    automatically sealing and printing patient identification and prescription data on the package once all oral solid pharmaceutical specified by the patient prescription data have been transferred into the package cavities specified by the patient prescription data.
