Executive Summary
OTC LABEL USE OF PICTOGRAMS NEEDS DATA SUPPORT showing that pictograms will not miscommunicate patient information, Procter & Gamble attorney Robert Anderson maintained at a Jan. 18 workshop on OTC drug labeling and consumer communication sponsored by the Drug Information Association. The OTC "industry is very nervous" about the use of pictograms, Anderson said, since pictograms have been "shown to mean a lot of different things" to different populations.
