 Patients - NOTE: If you have a medical emergency call 911
It is our policy to provide technical information on prescription products to Pharmacists and Physicians. Patients/consumers should contact the doctor who prescribed or pharmacist who dispensed the product of concern regarding questions about prescription products and their uses.
Patient information sheets contain information about medical conditions, available services, and treatments.
Med Guides focus solely on serious side effects associated with certain medications or classes of medications and do not provide comprehensive drug information for those medications with serious or significant side effects as determined by the FDA. MedGuides are required if the FDA determines that one or more of the following circumstances exist:
- Patient labeling could help prevent serious adverse effects
- The drug product has serious risk(s) (relative to benefits) of which patients should be made aware because information concerning the risk(s) could affect patients' decision to use, or to continue to use the product
- The drug product is important to health and patient adherence to directions for use is crucial to the drug's effectiveness
