Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which act replaced the long legend with "Rx only" for prescription drugs?

Controlled Substances Act Drug Quality and Security Act FDA Modernization Act of 1997 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

Correct Answer:

Controlled Substances Act

Explanation:

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 replaced the long legend with "Rx only" for prescription drugs. The other options are incorrect because -B: The Drug Quality and Security Act focuses on improving the safety of the drug supply chain and does not address labeling requirements for prescription drugs. -C: The FDA Modernization Act of 1997 made changes to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, but did not specifically address the labeling of prescription drugs. -D: The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was the original legislation that required a "legend" or prescription label on drugs, but it did not specify the use of "Rx only" on labels. The Controlled Substances Act later amended this requirement for certain controlled substances.
