Figure 2:Label pasted on the drug box

  • The labels should be pasted on the visible side of the carton.
  • The label should be in bold colours for quick identification.
  • There should be different coloured labels for different regimens as well as for the intensive and continuation phases.
  • The label should be pasted in an oblong manner on the box to allow quick readability.
  • The label should be generated through the Ni-kshay Aushadhi during each cycle of box preparation and printed directly from the system.
  • The labels prepared for a particular cycle should be pasted over the boxes prepared during that cycle only.
