I have not used them myself but USP DI Volume 2 Advice for the Patient:
Drug Information in Lay Language has an appendix which includes an
extensive list of pictograms. I would suggest that you start from there
to develop your own culturally appropriate pictograms.
I would be happy to mail or fax these to you if you do not have this
volume. Though I would be surprised if it is not available in a library!

Note from the moderator:
------------------------
The United States Pharmacopeial's USP DI Vol.2 indeed has more
than 80 pictograms. I will be happy to ship the 1996 edition of
the Volume 2 free of charge to anyone who is willing to pay the shipping
cost until stocks last. My earlier posting on free distribution of USP
DI resulted in positive response from Christian Medical Commission (World
Council of Churches) and Pan American Health Organization (WHO of the
Americas).
