Gyógyszerismertetben

Gyógyszerismertetben is a Hungarian term that translates to "drug information" or "medication information" in English. It refers to the comprehensive data and guidance provided about a specific pharmaceutical product. This information is crucial for healthcare professionals, patients, and regulatory bodies to ensure the safe and effective use of medicines.

The content of gyógyszerismertetben typically includes details such as the drug's active ingredients, its pharmacological action, indications for use, dosage recommendations, contraindications, potential side effects, drug interactions, and storage instructions. It also outlines precautions to be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and information relevant to specific patient populations like children or the elderly.

In Hungary, this information is usually presented in two main formats. For healthcare professionals, a more detailed and technical "Orvosi Élelmiszerkönyv" (Medical Foodbook) or a SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) is available, often found in official drug compendia. For patients, a simplified leaflet called "Betegtájékoztató" (Patient Information Leaflet) is included with the medication, written in clear and understandable language.

The purpose of gyógyszerismertetben is to educate and inform, promoting rational drug use, minimizing risks, and maximizing therapeutic benefits. It is a vital component of pharmacovigilance and patient safety within the healthcare system. Regulatory authorities mandate the provision of accurate and up-to-date gyógyszerismertetben for all approved medications.
