Poison Prevention Packaging: A Guide For Healthcare Professionals

This guidance was designed to educate pharmacists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals about their responsibilities under the PPPA. It is intended to be incorporated into the ongoing curricula of medical, pharmacy, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant programs and schools with the hope that healthcare professionals will become more aware of their responsibilities under the law. By learning the advantages of special packaging and by making a concerted effort to promote its use, healthcare professionals will help to further decrease ingestions by young children.
