DRUGS AND DEVICES
The cases reported herewith were instituted in the United States district
courts by United States attorneys, acting upon reports submitted by the Depart-
ment of Health, Education, and Welfare. They involve drugs which are re-
quired at time of interstate shipment to bear a label containing the statement
"Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription," and which
were dispensed after such shipment without a prescription or by refilling a pre-
scription without authorization. This dispensing was contrary to Section
503(b) (1) and thereby resulted in the dispensed drugs being misbranded while
held for sale.
