# Mandatory paper drug leaflets to end on January 1, 2027

Under a regulation by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, the gradual shift to electronic instructions for use will become mandatory from January 1, 2027; patients will access information by scanning the QR code on the box with their phone, and printed instructions may still be provided to those who request them.
