address of the pharmacy of origin, date of filling, name of patient,

name of prescriber, directions for administration, and prescription

number. The symptom or purpose for which the drug is prescribed may

appear on the label if provided by the practitioner and requested by

the patient or the patient's authorized representative. If the

mental institution. This requirement shall not apply to dialysate

sold, dispensed or delivered in their original, sealed packaging

upon receipt of a prescriber's order.

C. No prescription shall be written in any characters, figures,

or ciphers other than in the English or Latin language generally in

use among medical and pharmaceutical practitioners.
