Name change leaflets

Leaflets to help patients understand changes to the names of many medicines have been produced by the National Pharmaceutical Association. They explain that British Approved Names are being brought in line with recommended International Non-proprietary names (PJ, 13 March, p311) and list changes so that pharmacists can highlight those that apply to individual patients’ treatments.
