Texas SB2470 mandates specific labeling and dispensing requirements for prescription drugs and biological products.

Texas SB2470 amends the Occupations Code to enhance transparency and accessibility in the dispensing of prescription drugs and biological products. It requires that the label on the dispensing container include the pharmacy's name, address, and phone number; the date of dispensing; the prescribing practitioner's name; the patient's name or the animal's species and owner's name if prescribed for an animal; instructions for use; and the quantity dispensed. If the drug is not in its original container, the label must also indicate the expiration date.
