Why Should You Attend:

All OTC drugs are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) and can enter the market in one of the following ways: (a) by complying with an applicable monograph; (b) as the subject of an FDA approved New Drug Application; or (c) via an FDA approved Rx-to-OTC Switch.

Most of the OTC drugs available today are marketed and sold as OTC monograph drug products. Although still a very, very small percentage of the total number of OTC drug products on the market, the Rx-to-OTC Switch regulatory pathway is becoming increasingly popular for placing OTC drugs on the shelves as companies look for ways to extend the life cycle of their branded prescription products.

  • Whether a drug product can be marketed and sold as an OTC

Topic Background:

Over-the-Counter Drug Products or “OTC Drugs” include many of the well-known products that we regularly see at our local drug and grocery stores. They are available without a prescription from a doctor and can be bought right off-the-shelf at the store. They are safe and effective when a consumer follows the directions on the label and as directed by his/her doctor.

Among others, examples of OTC drug products include Ibuprofen tablets, anti-itch creams, nasal decongestant sprays, cough syrups, antacids, allergy medicines and topical pain relievers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) regulates the marketing and sale of OTC drugs in the U.S. Today, most of the OTC drugs available are marketed and sold under an existing OTC monograph or a pre-existing non-prescription drug approval. There are however a number of OTC drugs that have been subject to an “Rx-to-OTC Switch” meaning that the product no longer requires a prescription for purchase.
