This document has been updated by the Commission based on the changes to the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, changes to ‘mixed-case’ and ‘Tall Man lettering’ lists published by other countries (the United States, Canada and New Zealand), and reported adverse incidents or near misses from hospital networks across Australia.

The fact sheet includes some principles for the application of ‘mixed-case’ lettering and provides guidance on the risk assessment process and how to apply ‘mixed-case’ lettering to locally identified LASA medicine names.
