Panel Discussion: Labelling and Printing in Pharmaceutical Packaging: Critically redefining patient-centricity

While drug labelling and printing is critically important to identify the active ingredients and excipients in a particular drug- it serves a two-pronged purpose. While on one hand patients remain abreast of their right to information for effective medication on the other hand, medical practitioners rely on drug labelling to obtain their essential information for prescription and appropriate treatment. In this perspective, the discussion aims to derive technical information from experts on:

• Standard & counterfeit drugs- differentiation
• Usage| Child Safety & Storage- Information made right.
• Automation & Technology leveraged- RFID, Barcodes, and others.
• Way Forward.
