Introduced on March 21, 2019
State Expenditure
This bill adds the lot number of a prescription to the requirements for prescription drug labels dispensed by filling or refilling a written or oral prescription of a practitioner licensed by law to administer the drug. As the bill does not create any new requirements for DHEC, it has no expenditure impact to the agency.

Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office

This exemption shall not apply to any a drug dispensed in the course of the conduct of a business of dispensing drugs pursuant to diagnosis by mail, or to a drug dispensed in violation of paragraph (1) of this subsection."
