Abstract: The label and labeling system provide a way to label containers and packaging for drug products in a manner that makes the drug readily identifiable and distinguishable for a clinician to help reduce the potential for medication errors. The study of product characteristics, usage behavior, environment and storage practices informs the design process and yields packaging and labeling that is tailored for a particular product and set of users. Information of particular importance for the clinician is emphasized through selective placement, orientation, and text size, among other characteristics. In addition, a design and color scheme may be employed to assist with proper dosage selection and reduce the potential of administering a wrong dose. Through the label and labeling system, at-a-glance accurate readability and product differentiation are enhanced.
