Is the pharmacy's phone number required on the container label in Virginia?

In Virginia, the requirement for labeling of prescription containers is outlined in the state's regulations. One key aspect is that the pharmacy's phone number is not mandated to be included on the container label. This aligns with the state's objective of ensuring essential information is shared without overburdening the label with unnecessary details.

While including a phone number can be beneficial for patients seeking clarification or additional information about their medications, it is not a legal requirement. Therefore, pharmacies may choose to include it as a matter of customer service but are not obliged to do so. This allows them the flexibility to omit it from labels unless they see fit to provide it, distinguishing Virginia's regulations from some other jurisdictions that might enforce more stringent labeling requirements.
