The invention relates to a security label for protecting medicaments contained in an individual packaging, comprising a security layer (10, 110, 210) that can be stuck on the individual packaging. Removable elements (16, 216) are formed in the security layer (10, 110, 210), in the region of the medicaments (15) to be inserted, in such a way that cuts (17) are made in the security layer (10, 110, 210), on the edge of the removable elements (16, 216), said cuts (17) following a virtual cut strip. In order to produce such a security label that can be easily opened, but still provides protection against unauthorized opening by children or inadvertent opening, and can be produced cost-effectively, obstacle points are provided on the cut strip, forming a resistance when the removal element is removed.
