Section 25.93. Labeling—drug code number

The label on a dispensed drug container shall include the name of the drug, using abbreviations if necessary, the quantity, and the name of the manufacturer if the drug is a ‘‘generic’’ drug. In those situations where a practitioner specifically indicates that the name of the drug should not appear on the label, the recognized national drug code number should be placed on the label if such a number is available for the product. When a drug is dispensed by a practitioner other than a pharmacist, the label shall also bear the name and address of the practitioner, the date dispensed, the name of the patient, and the directions for the use of the drug by the patient.

The provisions of this § 25.93 amended June 24, 1977, 7 Pa.B. 1742. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (24407).
