Why is Pillbox currently not intended for clinical use?
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has made substantial efforts to accurately connect each image to the appropriate medication. However, the images contained within Pillbox are not part of the Food and Drug Administration-approved Structured Product Label (SPL) (drug label) and have not been verified by each manufacturer. In fall 2009, the NLM and FDA will initiate a pilot program to begin large-scale photography of prescription solid dosage medications, working with manufacturers to have these images submitted for inclusion with the drug label. Once the images in Pillbox have been verified by manufacuturers this warning will be removed.
