The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) of 1938 mandated the inclusion of which information on drug labels?

  1. Drug efficacy

  2. Manufacturer's name

  3. Usage directions and warnings about habit-forming potential

  4. Expiration date

The correct answer is: Drug efficacy

The correct answer is A. Drug efficacy. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) of 1938 required drug labels to include information about the drug's intended use and its effectiveness. This legislation was crucial in ensuring that drugs were properly labeled with accurate information to protect public health and safety. While the other options may also be important aspects of drug labeling, the specific mandate outlined in the FDCA of 1938 was related to including information about drug efficacy on labels. Manufacturer's name, usage directions, warnings about habit-forming potential, and expiration date are significant details that are typically included on drug labels to provide comprehensive information to healthcare providers and patients.
