Meeting FDA Requirements for Over-the-Counter / OTC Drug Labeling

Why Should You Attend:

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug products do not require medical prescriptions, but must meet the respective FDA Drug Monograph requirements published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and thus the labeling of OTC Drugs differs substantially from that of labeling for all other drug (i.e., prescription) products. I will contrast the difference in the labeling of OTC & NDA drugs; I will present example OTC labels that the FDA deems acceptable; I will provide a few examples of firms that have deviated from FDA’s labeling for OTC products (some of which were likely cases of fraud); and I will answer questions dealing with correct labeling.

• What are FDA's labeling requirements that differ between NDA vs. OTC Drug Labeling.
