Section 7.02. Prescription label; name of drug or drug product dispensed.  


Latest version.
  • No drug product may be dispensed unless the prescription label discloses the brand name and strength, or the generic name, strength, and manufacturer or distributor of the drug product dispensed unless the prescribing practitioner requests omission of the above information. If a pharmacist, pursuant to a prescription order that specifies a drug product by its brand name, dispenses the drug product equivalent of the drug product specified in the prescription order, the prescription label may include both the generic name of the drug product equivalent and the brand name specified in the prescription order, unless the prescribing practitioner requests that the brand name be omitted from the label. If a brand name drug product is dispensed, the prescription label may contain both the brand name and the generic name of the drug product equivalent dispensed unless the prescribing practitioner requests that the generic name of the drug product equivalent be omitted from the label.
