This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you'd like to change the rules about labelling for medicines or something else.
You can find out more about the rules for labelling medicines here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for drug companies to have to reveal all their trials data, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
