An apparatus and method for direct drug infusion from a vial to a patient are provided. A movable hanger label is provided to adhere to and support the vial to facilitate direct infusion of a drug, such as one or more pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and/or biologics, from the vial to the patient. Additionally, a process is provided in which the drug, contained in the vial with the movable hanger label, may be directly infused through a primed infusion line with a rapid infusion rate. A saline flush is incorporated at the end of the administration to flush the infusion line, resulting in a reduced amount of the drug remaining in the line.
