(a) In this Section:

"Client information sheet" means a paper given to a veterinarian by a prescription drug manufacturer, as required by the Center for Veterinary Medicine of the federal Food and Drug Administration, for the purpose of communicating important risk information to clients so that the owners of an animal are provided with vital product safety information, including without limitation precautions, contraindications, signs of a possible adverse reaction, and steps to take in the event of an adverse reaction to the prescription drug.

"Drug" has the meaning given to that term in the Pharmacy Practice Act of 1987.

"Good faith" has the meaning given to that term in subsection (v) of Section 102 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act.

"Medicine" has the meaning given to that term in the Pharmacy Practice Act of 1987.

This Section shall not apply to drugs and medicines that are in a container which bears a label of the manufacturer with information describing its contents that are in compliance with requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, approved June 29, 1967, as amended, and which are dispensed without consideration by a practitioner licensed under this Act. "Drug" and "medicine" have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pharmacy Practice Act of 1987, as amended, and "good faith" has the meaning ascribed to it in subsection (v) of Section 102 of the "Illinois Controlled Substances Act", approved August 16, 1971, as amended.
