     151.212 Label of prescription drug containers. 


    Subdivision 1.    Prescription drugs.  Drugs dispensed 
 pursuant to a prescription shall bear a label permanently 
 affixed to the immediate container in which the drug is 
 dispensed and which is received by the purchaser.  The label 
 shall bear the name of the manufacturer or distributor of the 
 finished dosage form of the drug and all other information 
 required by law and by rules of the board. 


    Subd. 2.    Controlled substances.  In addition to the 
 requirements of subdivision 1, when the use of any drug 
 containing a controlled substance, as defined in chapter 152, or 
 any other drug determined by the board, either alone or in 
 conjunction with alcoholic beverages, may impair the ability of 
 the user to operate a motor vehicle, the board shall require by 
 rule that notice be prominently set forth on the label or 
 container.  Rules promulgated by the board shall specify 
 exemptions from this requirement when there is evidence that the 
 user will not operate a motor vehicle while using the drug. 


    Subd. 3.    Veterinary drugs.  Drugs dispensed, sold, or 
 distributed in any manner pursuant to the order of a licensed 
 veterinarian shall bear a label permanently affixed to the

 manufacturer or distributor of the finished dosage form of the 
 drug and all other information required by law and the rules of 
 the board.
