The objective of the Good Label and Package Practices Guide for Non-prescription Drugs and Natural Health Products is to provide direction to sponsors, manufacturers and license holders (to be referred to as ‘sponsors’ within this guide) in designing safe and clear labels and packages. It is essential that all labelling and packaging regulatory requirements be met. The recommendations provided in this guide will aid sponsors in the organization of (a) information required by the regulations, and (b) other complementary information important to the proper identification, selection, and use of the products. The information is presented to support the design and development of labels and packages that are clear, effective, and minimize the risk of errors causing harm.
