review and clearance.
Guidance for Industry on Questions
and Answers Regarding the Labeling of
Nonprescription Human Drug Products
Marketed Without an Approved
Application as Required by the Dietary
Supplement and Nonprescription Drug
Consumer Protection Act—(OMB
Control Number 0910–0640)—Extension
On December 22, 2006, the President
signed into law the Dietary Supplement
and Nonprescription Drug Consumer
Protection Act (Pub. L. 109–462, 120
Stat. 3469). This law amends the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(the FD&C Act) with respect to serious
adverse event reporting for dietary
supplements and nonprescription drugs
marketed without an approved
application.
Section 502(x) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 352(x)), which was added by
Public Law 109–462, requires the label
of a nonprescription drug product
marketed without an approved
application in the United States to
include a domestic address or domestic
telephone number through which a
responsible person may receive a report
of a serious adverse event associated
with the product. The guidance
document contains questions and
answers relating to this labeling
requirement and provides guidance to
industry on the following topics: (1) The
meaning of ‘‘domestic address’’ for
purposes of the labeling requirements of
section 502(x) of the FD&C Act; (2)
FDA’s recommendation for the use of an
introductory statement before the
domestic address or phone number that
is required to appear on the product
label under section 502(x) of the FD&C
Act; and (3) FDA’s intent regarding
enforcing the labeling requirements of
section 502(x) of the FD&C Act. Separate
guidance, issued by the Center for Food
Safety and Applied Nutrition on
reporting for dietary supplements, is
announced elsewhere in the Federal
Register.
