| Reference: HTH Reference information: Der Zulassungsvermerk Der Zulassungsvermerk der Swissmedic entspricht einerseits dem bis Ende 2001 als "IKS-Vignette" den Packungen aufgedruckten Hinweis auf die Abgabekategorie, andererseits der Angabe der Zulassungsnummer, bevorzugt unter dem EAN-Strichcode. Untenstehend ist der Hinweis auf die Abgabekategorie in verschiedenen Formaten verfügbar. http://www.swissmedic.ch/zulassungen/00173/00174/index.html?... The Swissmedic licence symbol The Swissmedic licence symbol corresponds both to the "IKS" vignette printed on medicine packaging until the end of 2001 to indicate the distribution category, but also to the authorization number, preferably under the EAN barcode. Below that, the distribution category is available in various formats. http://www.swissmedic.ch/zulassungen/00173/00174/index.html?... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2009-07-14 18:00:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @ Alan Frankel: Is yours by any chance a Swiss text ? |
