Overview

The educational materials listed below highlight specific safety concerns associated with the use of selected therapeutic products and CTGTP, and provide advice on the actions required to optimise the safe and effective use of these products.

• Physician Educational Material (PEM): Intended for use by healthcare professionals in conjunction with the approved Singapore package insert. The PEM highlights safety concerns associated with the product and their risk mitigation measures e.g. selection of the appropriate patient group, close adherence to the recommended dosing information, close monitoring for early signs of adverse events that could require therapy modification.
• Patient Medication Guide (PMG) and Patient Alert Card (PAC): Intended for dissemination by healthcare professionals to their patients or patients’ caregivers. The PMG and PAC provide important information for patients and their caregivers regarding the use of the product e.g. self-monitoring for early signs and symptoms of adverse events, when to seek prompt medical attention.

Only HSA-approved educational materials are listed below. These materials are published with the agreement of the company responsible for producing them, and are not intended to replace medical advice offered by healthcare professionals.

For electronic package inserts accessed from QR codes printed on the educational materials, there may be a time lag in the publishing of the latest approved package inserts after revisions are approved by HSA.
