What item is not required on a prescription label in the state of Ohio?

In Ohio, the pharmacy's DEA number is not required to be included on a prescription label. The primary purpose of a prescription label is to provide essential information for the patient regarding their medication, including the name of the patient, the name and strength of the medication, dosage instructions, and necessary contact information for the pharmacy, such as the pharmacy's phone number.

While the pharmacy's DEA number is important for the pharmacy’s records and for compliance with federal regulations regarding controlled substances, it is not typically something that patients need on their prescription label to understand how to use their medication safely. The prescriber's license number and the patient's date of birth can be important for identification and verification purposes, ensuring that the medication goes to the correct patient and is prescribed by a licensed professional. This emphasizes the focus on patient safety and accurate information directly related to the use of the prescribed medication.
