Study Notes
Guideline on E-Labelling of Medical Leaflets of Medicinal and Biological Products for Human Use
- This guideline details e-labelling of medicinal and biological products for human use.
- The document was issued on 01/05/2024.
- This guideline applies to E-Labelling of medical leaflets for medicinal and biological products for human use.
- The legal basis for the document includes a technical committee decision dated 8/9/2022 and 16/11/2023, approval from the Legal Counsel of the Egyptian Drug Authority, and other regulating rules and guidance issued by the EDA.
- The document defines applicant, Electronic Product Information (ePI), Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), Patient Information Leaflet (PIL), and the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI).
- Important abbreviations used in the document include EDA, MAH, QR code, URL, HCP, PDF, PAC, HL7, and FHIR.
- Electronic Labelling (E-labelling) is a digital alternative to physical labelling for disseminating updated product information and facilitating communication among manufacturers, healthcare providers, and patients.
- E-labelling in Egypt uses a machine-readable QR code on product packaging.
- Paper leaflets have limitations like poor readability, difficulty in updating, and challenges with product recalls.
- E-labeling offers benefits such as easier access to information, enhanced safety and use instructions, improved sharing of information, accessibility for users with disabilities, reduced paper consumption, and better understanding for patients and healthcare professionals.
- The E-labelling project implementation involves three stages with gradual removal of paper leaflets (from eligible products).
- Stage 1 involved using both paper and electronic formats linked via QR codes.
- Stage 2 is focused on expanding QR codes to more product types and incorporating user feedback.
- Stage 3 aims for complete elimination of paper leaflets and enhanced data interoperability.
- The implementation of e-labelling is voluntary for certain products like hospital-use products under HCP supervision (e.g., intravenous drugs, immunosuppressants, oncologic products).
- The E-labeling guideline includes specific criteria for selecting pharmaceutical products eligible for stage 2 e-labelling (products exclusively supplied to healthcare institutions, prescribed by physicians and administered inside the institutions).
- This guideline specifies the required formats of e-labels (QR code on product packaging with a PDF format) for display optimization on electronic devices.
- It outlines roles and responsibilities for the scientific file examination unit and applicants, including how they submit a request for an e-label, the acceptance procedures and timeframes.
Annexes
- The document includes various annexes with further details on medicinal products flowcharts, e-label formatting templates, EDA fees for services, and application forms.
