1. Principle of communicating drug information: • Drug information directed to the public in whatever form should be balanced with respect to risks and benefits. • Drug safety information should be ethically and effectively communicated in both content and method. www.diahome.org
What is the function of drug product labeling ? • Drug product labeling summarizes the essential scientific information needed for the safe and effective use of the drug. • Compliance with product labeling is expected to enhance the safe and effective use and reduce the number of adverse events resulting from medication errors due to misunderstood or incorrectly applied drug information. www.diahome.org

3. 3. 说明书安全信息的评议 COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ON SAFETY INFORMATION LABELING
Confusing medical information and flaws in drug safety communication at all levels of society can lead to mistrust, misinformation and misguided actions resulting in harm, and to create the climate where drug safety data may be hidden, withheld, or ignored. www.diahome.org
ADVERSE REACTIONS, WARNING AND PRECAUTION sectionsinclude only information that would be useful to health care practitioners making treatment decisions and monitoring and advising patients. www.diahome.org
Listing events should be some basis to believe there is a causal relationship between the drug and the event. • Lengthy lists of adverse events unlikely to have been caused by the drug are of little or no value to prescribers, and therefore also will lead mistrust. www.diahome.org
Safety information suggestions • A detailed standard concerning “Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drug Products," should be developed in China, which should also include A HIGHLIGHTS SECTION, to help health care practitioners easily find, read, and convey information important for safe use of the prescription. www.diahome.org
