Which item is NOT required on medication labeling when it leaves the hospital?

Medication labeling for veterinary prescriptions must adhere to specific standards to ensure safety and clarity for pet owners. Among the required items, the clinic name is essential as it identifies where the medication originated. The pet’s name is also necessary to ensure that the medication is appropriately tailored for the individual animal, minimizing the risk of administering the wrong medication. Additionally, the expiration date is critical for safety, as it informs the owner of the period during which the medication is effective and safe to use.

On the other hand, while the veterinary clinic may have different personnel involved in patient care, the vet school attended by the veterinarian does not hold relevance in the context of medication labeling. This information does not affect the safe administration or identification of the medication for the pet receiving it; hence, it is not required on the medication label when it leaves the hospital. Often, labels focus on the information that directly pertains to medication use and animal safety rather than the background of the practitioner.
