What must be included on the label for non-prescription medications?

1. Price of the medication

2. Color of the medication

3. Name of the medication, directions for use, expiration date, and the name of the resident taking the medication

4. Pharmacy’s address

The correct answer is: Name of the medication, directions for use, expiration date, and the name of the resident taking the medication

On the label for non-prescription medications, the most important information is the name of the medication, directions for use, expiration date, and the name of the resident taking the medication. This is because these details directly relate to the administering and use of the medication and are crucial for the safety and effectiveness of the medication. Option A- Price of the medication, and Option B- Color of the medication are not necessary for the safe and effective use of the medication. Option D- Pharmacy's address is also not essential information for the label of a non-prescription medication. Therefore, the correct answer is C since it includes all the necessary information.
