Abstract
A pharmaceutical order processing system, components thereof, and associated methods. The pharmaceutical order processing system includes an order processing device, a container former, and a pharmaceutical dispensing device. The order processing device receives a pharmaceutical order of one or more pharmaceuticals and determines a container volume for containing at least a portion of the one or more pharmaceuticals based on the one or more pharmaceuticals. The container former is communicatively coupled to the order processing device. The container former forms a pharmaceutical container having the container volume determined by the order processing device. The pharmaceutical dispensing device is also communicatively coupled to the order processing device. The pharmaceutical dispensing device dispenses said at least a portion of the one or more pharmaceuticals into the pharmaceutical container formed by the container former.
