Regulation 9

All particulars required by these Regulations to be shown by the labelling of any container or package of a medicinal product shall be printed in letters not less than 1.5 millimetres in height and shall be clearly legible and appear conspicuously in a prominent position on the label so as to be easily read by an intending purchaser or user of the medicinal product under normal conditions of purchase or use.

Notwithstanding paragraph (1), such statement may be printed in reduced size clearly legible where the container or package of a medicinal product is so small as to prevent the use of wording of the size specified in paragraph (1).

Where a container which is in the form of a bubble, blister or other sealed unit is part of a continuous series comprising a sheet or strip of like containers, regulations 6 and 7 shall be deemed to have been complied with if the particulars referred to in those regulations are displayed at frequent intervals on the sheet or strip of such containers.

Where the package immediately enclosing a container referred to in paragraph (3) is itself in the form of a bubble, blister or other sealed unit and is part of a continuous series comprising a sheet or strip of like packages, regulations 6 and 7 shall be deemed to have been complied with if the particulars referred to in those regulations are displayed at frequent intervals on the sheet or strip of such packages.

Every package immediately enclosing a package to which paragraph (4) refers shall, where regulation 6 or 7 is applicable, be labelled to show the particulars referred to in regulation 6 or 7, or both, as the case may be.

Nothing in these Regulations shall prohibit the addition in any language of such matter descriptive of the contents of the container or of any other particulars provided that such addition is not contrary to or in modification of the particulars required by these Regulations to be printed on a label.
