S 7562 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to requiring prescription drug containers be labeled with a description of the size, shape, color and imprint of the prescription drug it contains

Bill S 7562 amends existing law concerning prescription drug labeling. It requires pharmacists to include a physical description of the drug on the immediate container when dispensing a prescription. This description must specify details such as the drug's size, shape, color, and any identifying imprint. This new labeling requirement is in addition to existing information like the patient's name, prescriber, and directions for use, providing patients with more detailed identifying information about their medication.
