A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
I feel it is unlawful to with hold certain medications to a subpopulations. They are either safe or they aren't safe. There is no biochemical difference in this subpopulation.
