Abstract

Aims: Prescribing information should follow a defined structure to help prescribers easily find required information. Often information appears in different sections of Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) in an inconsistent way. Still unknown is how this inconsistency affects absolute contraindications and how it can be improved. Thisstudy aimed to evaluate the structure of absolute contraindications in SmPCs based on absolute drug-drug contraindications (DDCI) in the section 'contraindications' and references to sections 'special warnings and precautions for use' (here as 'warnings') and 'interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction' (here as 'interactions').
