The European Union has introduced a new labeling for medicinal products that are subject to particularly close monitoring.
These medicines are identified in the package leaflet by a black triangle ▼ standing on its tip with the words: "This medicinal product is subject to additional monitoring."
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has also published German-language information for patients and their relatives on its website, in the form of an information sheet and a video.
More detailed information on this topic can also be found on a general EMA information page on medicines under additional monitoring.
