South African Electronic Package Inserts

The purpose of this site is to make the package inserts for South African medicines available to the public in electronic format. The site is not complete, in that the information for some drug companies still needs to be captured, and other companies have not yet given permission to make their package inserts available. However, the site is constantly being updated and in time we hope to be able to provide information for all medicines available in South Africa.

Current use of E+P was associated with an increased risk for both ductal breast cancer (relative risk [RR], 1.75) and lobular breast cancer (RR, 2.12).
