Exist numerous items on the market that may be confused with one other by cause of similar forms, colors or trademarks. Medicine packaging should vary considerably from sanitation and food products.

Packaging for human medicines is one of the significant areas of design and investigation. So it is helpful to consider that, in this matter, there are obvious differences between the EU and the United States.
