1. A disposable dispensing apparatus for providing optimal therapeutic support to an animal by increasing compliance with a complex dosing regimen and facilitating simultaneous administration of storage-incompatible substances, said apparatus comprising:a blister pack having a plurality of predetermined areas, each of said predetermined areas defining at least a first recess and a second recess, the first and second recesses each defining a separate area for storing incompatible substances, the incompatible substances being selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic compounds and hydrophilic compounds, olefinic compounds and non-olefinic compounds, pH sensitive compounds and non-pH sensitive compounds, substances requiring an anhydrous environment and substances requiring a non-anhydrous environment, acidic drugs and basic drugs, effervescent tablets and high water content drugs or dosage forms, gelatin capsules and aldehydes, guarternary ammonium compounds and anionic substances, and combinations thereof, respectively; a first dosage unit occupying the first recess, said first dosage unit comprising a first biologically-active substance; a second dosage unit occupying the second recess, said second dosage unit comprising a second biologically-active substance; wherein the complex dosing regimen requires simultaneous administration of said first and second biologically-active substances; said first biologically-active substance being storage incompatible with said second biologically-active substance; and wherein said first recess and said second recess provide shelf stability by independently isolating in close proximity said first dosage unit and said second dosage unit to prevent interaction between the first and second biologically-active substances while facilitating simultaneous administrations of said substances.
