(a) The General Assembly finds that this Section is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. (b) In this Section, "facility-provided medication" has the same meaning as provided under Section 15.10 of the Pharmacy Practice Act. (c) When a facility-provided medication is ordered at least 24 hours in advance for surgical procedures and is administered to a patient at a facility licensed under this Act, any unused portion of the facility-provided medication must be offered to the patient upon discharge when it is required for continuing treatment. (d) A facility-provided medication shall be labeled consistent with labeling requirements under Section 22 of the Pharmacy Practice Act. (e) If the facility-provided medication is used in an operating room setting, the prescriber is responsible for counseling the patient on its proper use and administration and the requirement of pharmacist counseling is waived.
