New rules on the identification of DHPCs have been added to the guidance document DHPC HAM in order to make a clear distinction for the recipients of DHPCs between promotional materials and important safety information on medicinal product risks. From 1 July 2025, DHPCs will have to be identified with the "Red safety information" symbol. At the same time, changes to standardise the structure of a DHPC and other editorial revisions have also been added.
The revised guidance document DHPC HMP is valid with effect from 1 July 2025.
