摘要：

Patients in the United States receive multiple forms of written information about their prescription medications. This pilot study was conducted to evaluate alternative formats of patient-directed written prescription information for four medications: cefaclor suspension, simvastatin tablets, albuterol inhaler, and capecitabine tablets. Fifty-four consumers evaluated this information using a 5-point satisfaction scale, responding to 10–12 questions, and participating in group discussion. Overall, consumers valued short, simple text, a question-answer format, a table layout, large font, adequate text spacing, bold type for emphasis, and easy-to-understand, actionable information that included impact statements on activities and lifestyle. This pilot study reveals that simplified prescription information with improved readability and reduced ambiguity may enhance consumer information retrieval and reinforce appropriate use of prescription medicines.
