Dear friends,
I would like to request informations via e-mail.
Thailand is on process of reviewing draft on regulations in putting
generic names equivalent alongside the trade names of drugs in labelling
and in advertising (radio,tv). The issue is that the rules for
putting generic names for drug w/ compound ingredients is being dropped
because of the belief that no countries are doing or had done this.
So, in this case may I request for infos. on countries with
laws/regulations on generic labelling/ads. on compound drugs. Thank you!

The South African Department of Health is in the process

of reviewing identical measures.
