HSA would like to update healthcare professionals on the risk mitigation plan developed for rosiglitazone-containing products. This plan is developed to allow the continual use of rosiglitzone-containing products in Singapore and it incorporates strengthening of package inserts to warn of the potential increased cardiovascular risks, the development of patient information leaflets and a restricted access programme for these products. Requirements of the restricted access programme can be found in the letter enclosed. GSK will follow-up with the relevant healthcare professionals on details of the documentary process for this programme.
