Details

Warning statements need to be added to the labels and leaflets of certain medicines. The words in this guidance do not need to be used verbatim but that have already been user tested and are in use on dispensing labels applied in pharmacies across the UK.

The warning statements are divided into general and specific categories and for some medicines warnings from both sections may need to be applied.
