The calendar date on which a dispensed medication supply ends or a dispense record is closed, used in pharmacy and medication management systems to define the end of a drug therapy episode, calculate days supply, and identify therapy gaps or discontinuations.

The specific clock time at which a medication was dispensed to a patient or released for delivery, captured in pharmacy dispensing systems to support operational audits, controlled substance tracking, and time-stamped medication event documentation.

The combined date and time value recording the exact moment a medication dispense event was completed or recorded in the pharmacy system, used for precise sequencing of dispense records, audit trail documentation, and reconciliation of pharmacy claims data.

The formal name or label assigned to a dispense record or dispensed drug product, used in pharmacy documentation systems to identify the medication by its official drug name, formulation description, or prescription label designation for clinical and administrative records.
