Multilex Drug Dictionary: Name Change on Some Flavoured/Coloured Products

Flavours and colours are represented as Multilex DDF packs.  However, following the "advance warning" given in the December 2009 Multilex Bulletin, where manufacturers include a flavour or colour as part of the brand name of the product, FDBE now identifies these as products instead of as packs. Some of these changes required the replacement of the existing multi-flavoured product with one or more new single flavoured products.  FDBE recommends the use of "Replacement Record" functionality to support the transition to the new products.

The products which have been affected are:
