  • Model texts for SPC and Package Leaflet up-dated
    The 14th Amendment of the German Medicines Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG) Sections 11 and 11a on the structure and contents of the Package Leaflet and SPC have been revised in order to comprehend an adaptation to the European regulations. In order to ease the implementation of these new guidelines the BfArM provides templates for the Package Leaflet for medicinal products subject to prescription and not subject to prescription as well as for the SPC. In order to achieve uniformity and a smooth implementation it is suggestive to use those templates consequently. As an alternative, the templates of the QRD group at EMEA could be used.
