A cover sheet member for use with a pill receptacle having a number of recessed pill compartments, said cover sheet member defining peripheral edges and comprising: a sealing sheet with a top identification surface on which information can be printed and a bottom adhesive surface provided with an adhesive; a protective sheet which overlays said sealing sheet on its adhesive surface; first weakness zones that extend transversely through said sealing sheet and said protective sheet in a registering fashion to define first cutaway lines that are parallel to one another; second weakness zones that extend transversely through said sealing sheet but not through said protective sheet to define second cutaway lines that are parallel to one another; wherein said first and second cutaway lines intersect and are disposed perpendicularly to form rows between consecutive said second cutaway lines and between some of said second cutaway lines and some of said cover sheet member peripheral edges; and columns between consecutive said first cutaway lines and between some of said first cutaway lines and some of said cover sheet member peripheral edges; wherein said protective sheet is peeled away from said sealing sheet for applying said sealing sheet on said pill receptacle to cover and individually seal said number of pill compartments; and wherein a fraction of said cover sheet member is adapted to be separated from the rest of said cover sheet member along at least some of said first cutaway lines, including concurrently separating corresponding fractions of said sealing sheet and said protective sheet in registering fashion, whereby said protective sheet fraction is peeled away from said sealing sheet fraction on said cover sheet member fraction for applying said sealing sheet fraction on said pill receptacle for covering and individually sealing selected ones of said number of pill compartments.
