Requires pharmacists to include lot numbers or unique identifying numbers on prescription containers

This bill requires pharmacists to include lot numbers or unique identifying numbers for the original manufacturing batch on prescription labels. It directly affects pharmacists and pharmacies, mandating they add this information to every patient's medication container. The key provision amends the education law to require this labeling, aiming to improve patient safety by enabling faster medication recalls and tracking during safety issues. This change applies to all prescriptions filled in New York State.
