Various regulations and orders have been issued under the Medicines Act (MA) 1968 to deal with the labeling of medicinal products. In any case where there is more than one pharmaceutical form or more than one strength of a product, a statement of the pharmaceutical form or strength of that product must appear on the label. This can be as part of the name of that product, but otherwise must be added immediately after the name, in the same style and size of letters as the name. “Strength” means the suitability of the product for a baby, child, or adult. Additional information useful for health education may appear on the label as long as it is not of a promotional nature. Labeling details must be approved by the licensing authority and any changes notified to them. All licensed medicinal products have been required to carry an expiry date in clear language. The product “expires” at the end of the month stated or after the date stated means that the product is not to be used after the stated date on the label. The label must also carry the appropriate warnings listed for external medicines and for medicines containing hexachlorophane. |
