ingredient in accordance with Sections 502(e)(1)(A)(ii) and (iii) of
the federal act (21 U.S.C. 352(e)(1)(A)(ii) and (iii)).
(b) The requirement for stating the quantity of the active

However, the requirement for declaration of quantity shall not apply
to nonprescription drugs that are also cosmetics, as defined in
Section 201(i) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
Sec. 321(i)) and that are labeled in compliance with federal
labeling requirements concerning declaration of ingredients including
active ingredients and also the quantity and proportion of any

atropine, hyoscine, hyoscyamine, codeine, arsenic, digitalis,

from the requirement of stating the quantity of the active
ingredients, other than those specifically named in this subdivision,
upon a showing by the applicant through evidence satisfactory to the
department that the granting of the exemption will not endanger the
public health. For any prescription drug the established name of the
drug or ingredient, as the case may be, on the label and on any
labeling on which a name for the drug or ingredient is used shall be
printed prominently and in type at least half as large as that used
thereon for any proprietary name or designation for the drug or
ingredient.

1978 shall not apply to any drug shipped by a manufacturer or packer
to a retailer or wholesaler before January 1, 1980. Any such drugs
so shipped shall comply with this section on and after January 1,
