ABSTRACT:
A pharmacy label construction is provided that allows practice of a method of dispensing prescription drugs that takes a pharmacist or doctor less than a third of the time normally required to properly label a package of prescription drugs at a pharmacy or hospital. A label assembly includes a release liner having first and second ends, and supporting a first label section located adjacent the first end, a second label section located adjacent the second end, and at least one central label section located between the first and second sections, each section having pressure sensitive adhesive engaging the release liner. In practice of the method of dispensing the steps are: imaging the first label section to include indicia comprising the name of a prescription drug, the dosage for proper administration of the drug, and the quantity of the drug to be provided in a package; exposing the adhesive of the first label section at two widely spaced areas while leaving the release liner in place between the spaced areas; folding the second and central label sections, while attached to the release liner, underneath the release liner at the first label section; attaching the exposed adhesive areas of the first label section to a package for the drug; at a pharmacy, hospital, etc., detaching at least part of the first label section from the package; applying prescribing doctor and patient name indicia to both the first, and second or central, label sections; detaching the central and second label sections from the first label section; removing the release liner from the first label section to expose most or all of the adhesive on the first label section; and applying the first label section exposed adhesive to the package.
