Zusammenfassung:Provided is a drug labeling apparatus and method that involves scanning a barcode provided to a first drug vial to obtain information related to a first drug stored by the first drug vial. Data stored by a computer-readable medium of a first RFID tag associated with the first drug vial is read. Data stored by a computer-readable medium of a second RFID tag associated with a second drug vial is also read. The data determined based on the barcode is compared to the data read from the media provided to the first and second RFID tags. It is determined that the data read from the medium provided to the first RFID tag corresponds to the first drug based on the comparison result. Label content including information derived from the barcode and information derived from the data read from the medium provided to the first RFID tag is generated.
