Provided is a labeling apparatus that generates a label for labeling a drug container at a healthcare facility. The labeling apparatus includes a code reader that interrogates a computer-readable code, and a non-transitory, local computer-readable memory that stores a drug formulary including a plurality of drug entries. A processing component identifies, from the formulary, a specific drug that corresponds to the computer-readable code read by the code reader. A printer prints label content identifying the specific drug onto a label that is to be applied to the drug container. A network component receives a drug formulary package over a communication network from a remotely-located computer terminal. The drug formulary package received replaces an existing drug formulary stored in the non-transitory, local computer-readable memory.
