Patient leaflet and website

A marketing authorisation holder planned to redesign its website and a patient leaflet for healthcare professionals for one of its herbal medicinal products. The key question was the extent to which websites and patient leaflets for Over-the-Counter (OTC) products may contain information on dosage and use.

We reviewed the company’s redesigned website and ensured that all requirements of the Ordinance on Advertising of Medicinal Products were complied with. Together, we also drafted a new patient leaflet that physicians can hand out to their patients.
