Mary Beth Fritz;
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed your firm’s listing information provided forPediaCare Children’s Plus Multi-Symptom Cold, NDC 52183-385 and PediaCare Children’s Plus Flu, NDC 52183-365. Our review revealed that the listings for these products include inaccurate information. Prompt action must be taken to correct these deficiencies.
Section 510(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) outlines the requirements for registration and listing of drug products. The listings for PediaCare Children’s Plus Multi-Symptom Cold, NDC 52183-385, and PediaCare Children’s Plus Flu, NDC 52183-365, must include “The name and quantity of each active pharmaceutical ingredient in the listed drug”.[1]
A review of the listings for the products PediaCare Children’s Plus Multi-Symptom Cold, NDC 52183-385, and PediaCare Children’s Plus Flu, NDC 52183-365, reveals that while the active ingredient, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride appears on the copy of the label provided with the listing for each product, it is missing from the listing information in Structured Product Labeling (SPL) submitted for both drug listing files.
Your firm failed to fulfill its listing obligations under Section 510(j) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. 360(j)], which is a prohibited act under Section 301(p) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. 331(p)]. In addition, your firm’s failure to fulfill its listing obligations misbrands the product under Section 502(o) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. 352(o)].Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of a misbranded product is a prohibited act under Section 301(a) [21 U.S.C. 331(a)].
