An independent group, mainly clinical pharmacologists and physicians from 16 countries, worked out what they thought was the minimum information needed by the general public for the sensible use of six medicines that are widely self-prescribed (aspirin, paracetamol, ferrous sulphate, aluminium hydroxide, senna, and a multivitamin preparation). For each medicine the information is presented under four headings: nature and purpose of the drug, dosage and administration, unwanted effects, and keeping qualities. The group recommends that this "minimum information" be used as the standard basic information about these drugs for users in all countries. Additional items of information that may be needed in some circumstances are also discussed.
一个独立小组，主要由来自16个国家的临床药理学家和医生组成，梳理出了他们认为普通大众明智使用六种广泛用于自我药疗的药物（阿司匹林、对乙酰氨基酚、硫酸亚铁、氢氧化铝、番泻叶和一种多种维生素制剂）所需的最低限度信息。每种药物的信息都按照四个标题列出：药物的性质和用途、剂量与用法、不良反应以及保存条件。该小组建议，这种“最低限度信息”应作为所有国家这些药物使用者的标准基本信息。还讨论了在某些情况下可能需要的其他信息项目。
