Ala. Admin. Code r. 680-X-2-.13
In addition to existing state and federal regulations, the label of every prescription dispensed in this state shall bear as a minimum, the name and address of the pharmacy from which the prescription was dispensed, the prescriber's directions for use, the name of the drug as it is dispensed, and the strength per dosage unit. When the prescription is a manufacturer's mixture of ingredients or one with a common given name, only the name of the mixture need be indicated. However, in the absence of a name, the term "prescriber's mixture" may be used when the list of ingredients contained therein exceed what can be reasonably included on the prescription label. Any additional information that is a true statement of fact may be included as deemed essential for proper storage, handling, safety, and/or usage of the prescription. The drug name and strength per dosage unit may be excluded from the label at the request of the prescribing physician. The prescriber's directions for use may be excluded on prescription labels for hospital in-patients. The institutional name shall not be required on individual unit dose units or floor stock medication which is controlled with proof-of-use sheets.
