Drug labels refer to the content printed or pasted on the drug packaging, which is divided into inner labels and outer labels. The inner label of the drug refers to the label of the packaging that directly contacts the drug, and the outer label refers to the label of other packaging other than the inner label. The written expression of the label shall be scientific, standardized, and accurate, and standardized Chinese characters shall be used. If other words are added for comparison, the Chinese character expression shall prevail.

First, label content requirements.

Usually the first thing we see when we buy medicines is the outer label of the medicine.  The outer label of the drug shall indicate the generic name, ingredients, properties, indications or functions and indications, specifications, usage and dosage, adverse reactions, contraindications, precautions, storage, production date, product batch number, expiration date, approval number, manufacturer, etc. content. If the indications or functions and indications, usage and dosage, adverse reactions, contraindications, and precautions cannot be fully indicated, the main content should be marked and the words "see the instructions for details" should be indicated. The inner label of the drug shall at least indicate the generic name, specification, product batch number, expiration date, etc. of the drug.

Second, special identification requirements.

Narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, toxic drugs for medical use, radioactive drugs, drugs for external use and over-the-counter drugs, etc., which have special labels as stipulated by the state, must have the specified labels printed on their instructions and labels.

Third, the content that must not be printed.

The label of a drug shall be based on the instructions, and its content shall not exceed the scope of the instructions, and shall not be printed with words and logos implying curative effect, misleading use, or inappropriately promoting the product.
