Anti-counterfeiting labels of medicines refer to the contents printed or pasted on the drug packaging, which are divided into inner labels and outer labels. The inner label of the drug refers to the label of the packaging that directly contacts the drug, and the outer label refers to the label of other packaging other than the inner label. The written expression of the pharma label shall be scientific, standardized, and accurate, and standardized Chinese characters shall be used. If other words are added for comparison, the Chinese character expression shall prevail.
Safety is the basis of all nursing activities, and medication safety is the top priority. In order to ensure the safety of medication for critically ill patients, nurses are required to accurately identify the type of medication for each group during shift shifts, so as to avoid problems caused by unclear drug labels. Under the leadership of Head Nurse Xue Pengshi, members of the Safety Team of the First Department of Cardiovascular Medicine used brainstorming and brainstorming to invent the "drug label" for special medications in the Department of Cardiology after practical deliberation.
Ⅰ. Pharma labels to ensure drug safety
For anti-counterfeit labels of small medicines, how to locate the label color of each medicine, the members of the security team thought of the abbreviation of the English letters of the medicine, according to the function, etc., and finally agreed that the positioning should be based on the color of the outer packaging box of the medicine; the blue color of furosemide is to distinguish dobutamine, which is the same color as the pill box; as for sodium nitroprusside, it is marked in gray because it is easy to deteriorate when exposed to light, and it is protected from light when instilled.
The fixation cannot be pasted at will. After clinical practice, a label consistent with the drug used by the patient is pasted on the infusion connection tube about 5cm-10cm away from the trocar. It also prevents the occurrence of adverse nursing incidents where the wrong pipeline is replaced due to unclear identification. Now medical label stickers are fully applied in the ward, especially for critically ill patients in CCU, and we would like to share this with you. It is the responsibility of each of our nursing staff to ensure the safety of nursing and reduce the occurrence of nursing errors, and I will seek it up and down.
Ⅱ. Requirements for drug labels
1. Label content requirements
Usually the first thing we see when we buy medicines is the outer label of the medicine. The outer label of the drug shall indicate the generic name, ingredients, properties, indications or functions and indications, specifications, usage and dosage, adverse reactions, contraindications, precautions, storage, production date, product batch number, expiration date, approval number, manufacturer, etc. content. If the indications or functions and indications, usage and dosage, adverse reactions, contraindications, and precautions cannot be fully indicated, the main content should be marked and the words "see the instructions for details" should be indicated. The label of the drug should at least indicate the generic name, specification, product batch number, expiration date, etc. of the drug.
2. Special identification requirements
For narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, toxic drugs for medical use, radioactive drugs, drugs for external use, and over-the-counter drugs, etc., which have special labels as prescribed by the state, the instructions and anti-counterfeit labels must be printed with the specified labels.
3. Content that must not be printed
Pharma labels should be based on the instructions, and their content must not exceed the scope of the instructions, and words and logos that imply curative effects, misleading use, or improperly promote products must not be printed.
