30 Miss. Code. R. 2640-1.9

Current through January 14, 2025
Rule 30-2640-1.9 - Labeling Requirements for Dispensing Physicians

For the purposes of this rule, a "dispensing physician" means any physician who dispenses to a patient for the patient's use any controlled substance, legend drug or other medication where such medication is purchased by the physician for resale to a patient whether or not a separate charge is made.

Every dispensing physician, as defined above, who dispenses a controlled substance, legend drug or any other medication must insure that all such substances dispensed be labeled containing the following information:

A. The name of the patient to whom the medication was dispensed.
B. The date that the medication was dispensed.
C. The name, strength and quantity of the medication.
D. Direction for taking or administering the medication.
E. The name and address of the physician dispensing the medication.

The label required by this rule must be written in legible handwriting or typed and must be permanently affixed to the package or container in which the medication is dispensed. Prepackaged samples or starter packs in their original packages or containers need only have the patient name, date distributed, and physician's name if the manufacturer's packaging meets other requirements.

No physician may delegate dispensing authority to another person. A physician must personally dispense the medication. For the purpose of this regulation, "personally dispense" means the physician must actually obtain the medication, prepare, count, place the same into the appropriate container and affix the appropriate label to the container.
