TEVA Pharmaceuticals USA Selects In.vision Xpress Author for Production of Structured Product Labels (SPL) Under the Physician’s Labeling Rule (PLR)

Saint Petersburg, Florida March 14, 2007.

In.vision Research Corporation, the leading provider of software for enterprise XML authoring, announced today that TEVA Pharmaceuticals USA has joined the growing list of companies that have selected Xpress Author for Microsoft Word to prepare Structured Product Labels (SPL) according to the Physicians Labeling Rule.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Physician’s Labeling Rule is part of a larger FDA initiative to manage the risks of medical product use and reduce medical errors by healthcare professions, as well as enable them to better communicate risk information to their patients . Developments in recent years have contributed to an increase in the length, detail, and complexity of prescribing information for drugs. The revisions will make it easier for healthcare professionals to access, read, and use prescribing information, thereby increasing the extent to which they rely on it to obtain information on prescribing, dispensing, and administering prescription drugs. These revisions should enhance the safe and effective use of prescription drug products and in turn reduce the number of adverse reactions resulting from medication errors due to misunderstood or incorrectly applied drug information.

“TEVA USA is a worldwide leader in generic pharmaceuticals and according to the company, has one of the best overall FDA approval records in the industry for their drug submissions,” explained John Friske, In.vision CEO. “We are pleased to play a role by supporting TEVA in the preparation of these submissions according to the new Physician’s Labeling Rule without them needing to train their authors in XML and other complex computer technologies.”
