What must a prescription drug be labeled with?

  1. Caution: federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription

  2. Caution: federal law restricts this drug to use by a licensed veterinarian

  3. Rx only

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Caution: federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription

A prescription drug must be labeled with the caution: federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription. This labeling is necessary to remind pharmacists and other healthcare professionals that prescription drugs can only be dispensed with a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. This caution helps ensure that prescription drugs are handled and dispensed in accordance with federal regulations to protect patient safety and compliance with the law. While options B and C may apply to specific situations, the most comprehensive and fundamental requirement for prescription drugs is the one mentioned in option A. It is important for pharmacists to be aware of and comply with all labeling requirements for prescription drugs to avoid legal and regulatory issues.
