Course Description:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulates a wide variety of consumer products including prescription drugs (“Rx drugs”), branded and generic drugs, over-the-counter drugs (“OTC drugs”), dietary supplements and cosmetics.

This seminar will provide an introduction to how the FDA regulates each of these products, potential enforcement actions for non-compliance and the various import / export laws applicable to products coming into the country from outside the U.S. Attendees will learn about the FDA’s drug approval process (NDA and BLA) that is necessary to sell a new prescription drug in the U.S.

This course will also provide an introduction to the FDA’s regulation of OTC drug products and the various methods for bringing such a product to market. Participants will learn the various options for marketing an OTC drug, gain an understanding of the FDA’s relevant labeling and promotional rules, and learn strategies for mitigating the potential risk for FDA regulatory enforcement. It will also cover the requirements needed to market and sell homeopathic drugs, dietary supplements and cosmetics in the United States.
