The inclusion of cautionary and advisory labels for dispensed products is recommended by the B.N.F. and Medicines, Ethics and Practice. The selection by the pharmacist of these labels should be determined on the basis of pharmaceutical and scientific knowledge. This package covers labelling of dispensed products with 'traditional ' supplementary labels and cautionary and advisory labels.

This package links dispensing with:

• the law relating to pharmacy
• formulation science
• pharmacology
• drug/drug interactions
• drug/food interactions

Users are provided with the characteristics of a dispensed product, in generic format, and required to select appropriate cautionary and advisory labels, or traditional supplementary labels.
