(a) A practitioner prescribing a drug to be prepared and dispensed by a pharmacist in this State for the use of a patient or any third person must, as part of the prescription, include directions describing the exact method by which the drug must be taken or administered. A prescription without specific directions, or a prescription bearing the notation “as directed” without specific directions, may not be prepared or dispensed.

(b) A pharmacist must ensure that a label is affixed to every container in which a drug is dispensed. The label must contain the information required by the Board’s rules and regulations.

(c) Practitioners who sell or dispense drugs directly to patients must label all drugs or provide a document that includes all of the following information:

(1) The patient’s full name and address.

(2) The date the drugs were dispensed to the patient.

(3) The practitioner’s name, office phone number, and address.

(4) The practitioner’s Drug Enforcement Administration number in the case of a controlled substance.

(5) Name, strength, dosage form, and quantity (or stop date) of drug and route of administration if other than oral form of drug is prescribed.

(6) Renewals authorized.

(7) The practitioner’s directions.

(d) No pharmacist may fail to dispense a prescription because it is not clearly written or lacks information required by this title without first making a reasonable effort to contact the practitioner who issued the prescription to gather the clear and complete information.
