drug label
Pill bottle text
A drug label is the official printed information accompanying a medication, detailing its ingredients, dosage, warnings, and approved uses.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the label includes not just the physical packaging but the complete prescribing information approved by regulatory agencies: The FDA required updates to the drug label after new side effects emerged.
Generic versions must carry labeling substantially similar to the brand-name product.
