    The FDA announces new prescription drug information format.

    • FDA Consum. 2006 Mar 1; 40 (2): 25-7.

    AbstractIn January 2006, the Food and Drug Administration unveiled a major revision to the format of prescription drug information, commonly called the package insert. To manage the risks of medication use and to reduce medical errors, the newly designed package insert will provide the most up-to-date information in an easy-to-read format that draws physician and patient attention to the most important pieces of drug information before a product is prescribed. The new format also will make prescription information more accessible for use with electronic prescribing tools and other electronic information resources.
