§ 4607. Information; labeling

(a) Every pharmacy in the state shall have posted a sign in a prominent place that is in clear unobstructed view which shall read: "Vermont law requires pharmacists in some cases to select a less expensive generic equivalent for the drug prescribed unless you or your physician direct otherwise. Substitution will be noted on your prescription label by an "S" in the lower left corner. Ask your pharmacist."

(b) The label of the container of all drugs dispensed by a pharmacist under this chapter shall indicate the generic name using an abbreviation if necessary, the strength of the drug and the name or number of the manufacturer or distributor.

(c) If a generically equivalent substitution has been made, an "S" will be noted in the lower left corner of the prescription label. (Added 1977, No. 127 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2001, No. 63, § 124.)
