Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this law does:

This regulation requires any liniment (a liquid rubbed on the skin to relieve pain) or veterinary medicine that is manufactured using methylated spirits to carry a specific label.

The requirement: The label must clearly display the following statement: "This preparation contains [X] per cent. by volume of standard Methylated Spirit." (where [X] is replaced with the actual percentage of methylated spirits in the product).

Why it matters: This ensures that doctors, vets, and consumers know exactly how much denatured alcohol is in these medical preparations. Knowing the alcohol content is important for safety, proper dosing, and preventing accidental misuse or poisoning.
