Medication Guides

Sign up for Medication Guide Alerts

Medication Guides (MGs) are a type of labeling for patients and caregivers that are required by the FDA when:

  • The MG could help prevent serious side effects,
  • The medicine has serious side effects (relative to benefits) in which patients should be made aware of, or
  • Following directions for the use of the medicine is important for the medicine's effectiveness.

    • This database contains MGs for FDA-approved human prescription drugs and therapeutic biological products. Although this database does not include MGs for vaccines, allergenic products, blood products, plasma derivatives, and cellular and gene therapy products, such MGs can be found on FDALabel or DailyMed. For more information about MGs see "What are Medication Guides" on the Patient Labeling Resources webpage.

    To find a MG, start typing the name of the drug or the active ingredient(s) in the drug in the "Search" box. Click on the drug name to view the MG in PDF format.
