UK Announces Labeling Guides
New guidelines for the design of drug labeling and packaging, aimed at reducing medication error, were announced March 3 by Britain's Health Minister, Lord Philip Hunt.
The Best Practice Guidance Document, published March 3, sets out what factors should be considered when designing drug-package labeling. These include layout, size of text, and colors used. In addition, although 15 different pieces of information are legally required to appear on a label, users need rapid access to only five key pieces of critical information ' the name of the medicine, strength, route of administration, dosage, and warnings. The guidance advises that these should be brought together on the pack for ease of access. This guidance will be used in the future by industry when designing labeling and packaging for medicines and will assist in preventing medication errors in practice.
