These documents are known as "product label," "package insert," "prescribing information," "product information," "medicines information," and under many other names. The precise definition and content of product labeling usually varies depending on the country. (For example, in the U.S., all written, printed, or graphic matter accompanying a medicinal product is called "labeling."
