tricyclics mandatory product labelling

Additional Information

Tricyclic drugs are widely used, particularly in the elderly. since these old products became generics there has been no attempt to package them in a manner that would aid patients to only take one dose at a time. They are not marketed with the days of the week showing and so for older people, it is very easy for them to take more than one dose as they can become confused as to whether they have taken them or not, and there is no way to tell. Given the high toxicity of these drugs it should be mandatory for manufacturers to put the days of the week on packaging.
