Which item is NOT required on a federal unit dose label?

• A. Name and Strength
• B. Lot Number
• C. Prescriber Name
• D. Manufacturer or Repacker

Answer: (C)

The item being tested is what information federal rules require on unit-dose labels. Unit-dose labels must clearly identify the product and support safety and traceability: the drug name and strength, the lot or control number, the manufacturer or repacker, the expiration date, and the dispenser’s name and address. These elements help ensure the right drug is given, track batches, and know who supplied it. The prescriber’s name, while important on the original prescription and some patient-specific labels, is not required on the federal unit-dose packaging itself because this label’s purpose is to identify the product and its immediate supply details, not to record who prescribed it.
