Section 201.122 - Drugs for processing, repacking, or manufacturingA drug in a bulk package, except tablets, capsules, or other dosage unit forms, intended for processing, repacking, or use in the manufacture of another drug shall be exempt from section 502(f)(1) of the act if its label bears the statement "Caution: For manufacturing, processing, or repacking"; and if in substantially all dosage forms in which it may be dispensed it is subject to section 503(b)(1) of the act, the statement "Rx only", or if in substantially all dosage forms in which it may be dispensed it is subject to section 503(f)(1) of the act, the statement "Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian".
