Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to ensure that generically prescribed drugs have the same information for patients as brand prescribed drugs.

The United Kingdom labelling and leaflet regulations apply equally to all licensed medicines. Labels and patient information leaflets supplied with generically prescribed medicines will have to contain all the information required by regulations.
