Distribution of educational materials for patients

The distribution of EM for patients shall be carried out by the MA holder indirectly via healthcare professionals, e.g. a doctor will hand the EM or Patient Alert Card over to each patient whom he/she begins to treat with the particular product.

SÚKL recommends to avail also of other distribution routes, such as publication on the websites of patient organisations.

The MA holder should inform the doctor about possible ways of re/ordering EM for patients, e.g. via specialised representatives, in writing or by phone from the MA holder´s non-promotional unit (medical or pharmacovigilance department).
