Dual labelled ingredient names moving to sole names from May 2025
Some medicine labels show both the old and new active ingredient name. We call this dual labelling. Using both old and new names on labels gave consumers and health professionals time to adjust to new names.
The dual labelling period for most ingredient names ended on 30 April 2023. After this date, labels can show the new ingredient name or show both names for up to 3 years before changing.
For some ingredient names, the dual labelling period continued until 30 April 2025. Soon these medicines will start to show only the new name for ingredients.
