OTC registration requirements

  • In order to register as an OTC drug, the manufacturer must check whether the product contains active substances designated by the FDA.
    • If it does, the product must be registered as an “approved drug.”
    • If it does not, the product must be registered as an “unapproved drug” (also examine the possibility of registration).
  • ­ The FDA classifies OTC drugs into roughly 80 product groups, and regulates the definition, efficacies, labeling, testing, and ingredients for each product.
