Texas Animal Control Officer Practice Test

What phrase must be included on the labels of dangerous drugs?

1. Caution "For Personal Use"

2. Caution "Not for Human Use"

3. Caution "RX Only"

4. Caution "Order of a Veterinarian"

The correct answer is: Caution "RX Only"

The phrase "Caution 'RX Only'" must be included on the labels of dangerous drugs because it indicates that the drug is available only through a prescription from a licensed practitioner and not available for over-the-counter sale. This designation is essential for regulating the use of potent substances that require supervision due to their potential effects and risks associated with unsupervised consumption. The requirement of a prescription helps ensure that these drugs are used safely and responsibly, protecting both animal and human health. The other options do not hold the same regulatory weight or relevance in the context of dangerous drugs. For instance, "Caution 'Not for Human Use'" pertains to drugs specifically formulated for animals, emphasizing that they should not be ingested by humans, but it does not convey the same level of regulatory compliance as requiring a prescription. "Caution 'For Personal Use'" and "Caution 'Order of a Veterinarian'" may describe specific contexts of drug use, but they do not fulfill the legal and safety implications that "Caution 'RX Only'" covers.
