Valuable information about your prescription medicine:
If your doctor has prescribed you medicine, you need trustworthy, independent information about what you are taking.
Back in 1996, with several new, powerful medicines becoming available, some New Zealand pharmacists became concerned about the lack of quality printed prescription medicine information for their customers.
A public survey of prescription customers undertaken by pharmacists identified the need for an easy-to-read medicine information leaflet – and so med+info was launched.
Med+info leaflets have no advertising or medicine manufacturers’ sponsorship, and are funded by the pharmacies and hospitals that supply med+info leaflets.
To process all the technical medicine information we use the Ministry of Health’s guidelines for consumer medicine information, and are ISO 9001 quality certified.
We actively seek ongoing feedback from the public and pharmacists to ensure we meet expectations for reliable and useful prescription medicine information.
