Docket Number:

Issued by:
Guidance Issuing Office
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prepared this guidance in accordance with section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. It is intended to help small businesses better understand the new over-the-counter (OTC) labeling requirements set forth in 21 CFR 201.66 and prepare new labeling. Additional information is available in the guidance for industry Labeling OTC Human Drug Products Questions and Answers.2

FDA’s guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency’s current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
