FDA's dispensing container specifications and the pharmacist
Pharm Manage 1980 Sep-Oct; 152:197-198
Abstract:
The Food and Drug Administration regulation of February, 1980, requires labeling instructions to the pharmacist, concerning the type of dispensing container for the product, as specified by the official compendia USP/NF. The special problems to pharmacists for dispensing non-compendia products are presented, and it was concluded that containers recommended by the manufacturers best protect the integrity of the product.
