Drug labelling norms under review: Expiry date readability flagged; govt panel to examine packaging reforms

India's drug regulator is addressing consumer concerns about illegible expiry dates and glossy packaging on medicines by forming a sub-committee. This panel will revamp labeling norms, explore regulations for packaging suppliers, and assess the feasibility of voice-assisted QR codes and braille cards. The aim is to enhance accessibility, improve transparency, and ensure patient safety in drug packaging.
