Croma-Pharma Introduces Electronic Instructions for Use Across the saypha® Portfolio

Healthcare professionals in eligible markets can now access the Instructions for Use for the saypha® portfolio digitally by scanning a QR code on the product packaging

Croma-Pharma has introduced electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) across its saypha^® portfolio in markets where applicable regulations permit electronic Instructions for Use to replace printed versions. The transition expands digital access to essential product information for healthcare professionals while reducing the use of printed documentation.

Healthcare professionals can access the current approved Instructions for Use by scanning the QR code on the saypha^® folding box. The eIFU platform provides direct digital access to the latest approved Instructions for Use.

"Innovation extends beyond product development. It also includes how we provide healthcare professionals with access to essential product information," said Andreas Prinz, Chief Executive Officer of Croma-Pharma. "The introduction of electronic Instructions for Use across the saypha^® portfolio reflects our focus on practical digital solutions that support healthcare professionals and align with evolving regulatory requirements."

Based on the projected first-year implementation of electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU), paper consumption is estimated to decrease by approximately 7.7 tonnes compared with printed Instructions for Use. The associated greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to decrease by approximately 10 tonnes of CO₂e. Estimates are based on projected implementation volumes and internal calculations using the Ecoinvent database. The initiative also supports Croma-Pharma's ongoing efforts to expand digital access to product information while reducing the environmental impact of printed documentation.
