Drug categories include Over-the-Counter (OTC), prescription medications, radiopharmaceuticals, biologics, and gene therapies. OTC medications, often known as non-prescription pharmaceuticals, are health products offered in the United States that may be purchased without a medical prescription. These medications are both safe and effective in limited quantities and can be sold freely on store shelves.
In the United States, the FDA performs a regulatory evaluation of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals based on active pharmaceutical ingredients and labeling rather than evaluating specific drug formulations. In the United States, there are about 300,000 OTC medications on the market.
All over-the-counter (OTC) products must contain warnings and directions for use, both of which are dependent on the product’s active ingredients. Warnings required for OTC topical medications include skin irritation and hazards associated with the administered substance. Directions should outline how to properly administer the medication along with checklists of do’s and don’ts. It is important that consumers read these labels carefully before using any OTC product.
All OTC products must include a list of ingredients on their labels. This information helps consumers understand what substances are contained in the product and allows them to avoid ingredients they may be allergic to. Allergy information improves safety when using OTC products as individuals can identify any potential risks before applying the medication or ingesting it orally. Additionally, product formulation must also include proper dosing instructions for each individual ingredient used in the product.
Information related to the manufacturer and storage of OTC products must be included in the product label. Depending on where a product is manufactured or stored, there may be additional responsibilities that manufacturers are required to adhere to. Additionally, if OTC products are shipped bulk-packed, shippers must adhere to specific regulations and follow state, local, and federal laws pertaining to all materials being shipped.
Manufacturers of OTC products should include clear and accurate information that is relevant to the product on their labels or in the package. This may include expiration date, warnings, product specific directions, usage directions, entity responsible for testing the product and any other applicable regulatory information. All of this information should be clearly specified on the label or package to ensure that users are aware of all safety and usage instructions pertaining to the OTC product they are using.
Primary display panel requirements for OTC products require that all ingredient names, consonant with good manufacturing standards, must be disclosed. This includes active ingredients as well as inactive or “other” ingredients, including colors and fragrances. Additionally, the required information from the panel must be in reverse type order, with the most prominent product name listed first followed by the active ingredients and dosage directions.
