Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)

The Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) is an official document that provides healthcare professionals with detailed information about a medicine. It includes how to use it safely and effectively, possible side effects, dosages, how it works, and precautions. Think of it as a comprehensive guide ensuring doctors and pharmacists understand the medication well, so they can prescribe and dispense it responsibly. While detailed and technical, its main goal is to promote safe and proper use of the medicine for the benefit of patients.
