Medicine Labels

What should pharmaceutical labels be like?

• Labels must be easy to read, so the consumer can quickly review information about the drug, dosage, ingredients and indications.
• Labels must comply with pharmaceutical legislation requirements, including marking and packaging in line with pharmaceutical regulations.
• Labels must be made from safe, durable materials such as self-adhesive PVC, PETG or special coatings that protect the information.
• Labels must resist moisture, chemicals and temperature fluctuations to preserve their look and information throughout the entire shelf life.
• The design must be clean, with an attractive look, so the product stands out on the pharmacy shelf while still complying with pharmaceutical standards.
• All essential information about the medicine must be included — purpose, method of use, side effects and expiry date.
• The label must match the packaging type, whether it’s a blister pack of tablets, a cream jar, or a syrup bottle.
