medication guide

Prescription information sheet

A medication guide is a document provided with certain prescription drugs, explaining risks, side effects, and proper use.

The FDA requires these for medications with serious safety concerns: The pharmacist handed me a medication guide with my antidepressant.

Unlike general drug information, medication guides are mandated and standardized.
