New Jersey News: New Labeling Requirement for Generic Drugs
Reprinted from the October 2009 New Jersey Board of Pharmacy Newsletter.
Senate Bill 906 was signed into law on July 31, 2009, and becomes effective January 27, 2010. Section 10 of P.L.1977, c.240 (C.24:6E-9) was amended to read as follows:
If a nonbrand name drug product is dispensed, the pharmacist shall include on the label of such drug product pursuant to a prescription the name of the brand drug and the name of the generic drug. The information required pursuant to this section shall be in the following form, with the generic name and brand name inserted as appropriate: _________ Generic for _________.
The Board will be updating NJAC 13:39 – 7.12(a)3 to reflect the language in the new law.
