An auxiliary label (also called cautionary and advisory label or prescription drug warning label) is a label added on to a dispensed medication package by a pharmacist in addition to the usual prescription label. These labels are intended to provide supplementary information regarding the safe administration, use, and storage of the medication.[1] Auxiliary labels provide information which can augment but not replace verbal counselling from a pharmacist.[2]
