The act of taking a finished drug product from its original container and placing it into a different container without modifying the drug itself is known as repackaging. Repackaging involves transferring the drug to a new container for the purposes of distribution or dispensing while ensuring that the drug remains unchanged from its original form.

In this context, compounding refers to the creation of a new drug product by mixing, making, or altering ingredients based on a prescription, which does involve manipulation of the drug. Dispensing typically involves preparing a medication for a specific patient as per a prescription but not specifically focusing on changing the package. Packaging refers to the overall process of preparing a product for distribution but does not specifically address the act of transferring from one container to another without alteration.

By focusing on the term "repackaging," it becomes clear that the correct choice emphasizes the transfer of an already manufactured product into a new container without altering its chemical structure or formulation.
