November 2007: Manufacturer Removes Logo to Enhance Medication Safety
Pharmaceutical Partners of Canada (PPC) recently revised the labelling of its 10 mL format of calcium gluconate. Specifically, the PPC logo has been removed from the label in an effort to make the critical information (drug name and dose) more prominent. ISMP Canada commends PPC for this action. | Figure 1: New PPC label for calcium gluconate vial. Note: manufacturer’s logo has been removed to enhance prominence of critical information. |
