One wrong field travels far.
A medicine has a different name, strength and marketing authorisation holder in every country where it is registered. Doctors and students look medicines up every day, in places you don’t control. When a holder, a group link or a product name is wrong, nobody tells you, and the mistake gets copied. The questions they are left with rarely get to your Medical Information team.
