title: Drug safety labeling for doctors.
abstract: New labeling regulations to become effective later this year will make it easier for the doctor to determine the safety of a prescription drug for the use intended. Rx labeling for physicians will be required to carry pregnancy precautions for protection of mother and fetus, and safety data on adverse reactions, interactions with other substances, patient precautions on use, drug abuse and dependency status, and overdosage information.
