Which information is typically included on a Drug Facts Label?

• A. The product's price
• B. The product's active ingredients, including the amount in each dosage unit, the purpose, uses, indications, warnings, dosage instructions, and inactive ingredients
• C. The color of the bottle
• D. The manufacturer's stock code

Answer: (B)

Drug Facts Labels are meant to give you clear, essential information to use over-the-counter medicines safely. The most important details you’ll find are the active ingredients and how much of each is in every dosage unit, along with the product’s purpose or use, indications, warnings, and the exact dosage instructions. In addition, you’ll see the list of inactive ingredients. Having all of this in one place helps you know what the medicine contains, what it’s meant to treat, how to take it correctly, and what precautions to follow.

Price, bottle color, and internal stock codes aren’t part of the standard Drug Facts Label, even though you might see them on packaging elsewhere. The focus of the label is on what’s inside and how to use it safely, not on sales or inventory details.
