As a part of proactive pharmaceutical administrative service that would be able to make a deep impression on the people, KFDA has prepared “the Guideline for the Package Labeling of the Drug Products (Draft)”which contains the guidance on letter size, letter style, easy medical terms in the packaging components of the drug products to protect customers, especially vulnerable people such as the aged. After the collection of opinions from the relevant organizations such as customer organizations and Korea Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, this guideline will be notified in the first half of 2007 and be recommended for pharmaceutical companies to follow voluntarily for some period. Currently, it is planned the guideline will be reflected on the relevant regulations around 2008 or 2009 through preparatory period. When becoming effective, the guideline would contribute to decreasing the rate of misusage or overdosage and adverse events of drugs.
