Ohio News: Attention - Pharmacists Dispensing IV Admixtures
Published in the May 2007 Ohio State Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
You probably know that your pharmacy’s name and address are required on labels for IVs dispensed to outpatients pursuant to rules 4729-5-16 and 4729-31-03. In addition, the name and address of the pharmacy is also required on labels for all IV admixtures dispensed to inpatients in an institutional facility pursuant to rule 4729-17-10(C)(5). Are your labels in compliance?
Before the computer era, pharmacies usually met this requirement with preprinted labels. As technology is changing pharmacy operations, it is likely that your pharmacy’s label information is now printed to standard, blank labels from software instructions in the computer’s label set-up. Although it is probable that your pharmacy’s IV labels have far more information than the mandatory minimum of these rules, please look at your present label set-up to verify that the required information is included.
