OTC DRUGS

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drugs

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drugs?

A drug is a substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

Unlike a prescription drug, an over-the-counter (OTC) drug

Does not require a doctor’s prescription.

Can be purchased off-the-shelf in stores or online.

Regulated by FDA through OTC Drug Monographs.

OTC MONOGRAPHS

OTC drug monographs cover acceptable ingredients, doses, formulations, and labeling. Monographs are continually updated, with additional ingredients and labeling as needed.

POPULAR OTC DRUG PRODUCTS

There are more than 80 therapeutic categories of OTC drugs, ranging from acne drug products to weight control drug products.

  • Sunscreen
  • Antidandruff shampoo
  • Toothpaste containing fluoride
  • Antiperspirant deodorant
  • Cold and cough products
  • Laxative
  • Skin protectant
  • Vaginal contraceptive
  • Weight control
  • Hand sanitizers

Sales of hand sanitizer in the U.S. spiked by 1,400% due to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Because there are over 300,000 marketed OTC drug products, FDA reviews the active ingredients and the labeling, instead of individual drug products.

PROHIBITED ACTS

Are considered illegal, among other acts:

Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of any drug that is adulterated or misbranded.

Adulteration or misbranding of any drug in interstate commerce.

Receipt in interstate commerce of any drug that is adulterated or misbranded, and the delivery or proffered delivery thereof for pay or otherwise.

OTC DRUG ESTABLISHMENT REGISTRATION

Any establishment engaged in the manufacture, repacking, relabeling, or salvaging of an OTC drug product for commercial distribution is required to register with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Products that do not conform to an FDA Monograph require a New Drug Application (NDA).

SERVICE FEES

Expect to pay these annual Service Fees, when seeking and requesting the assistance of ITB HOLDINGS LLC.

A foreign company or registrant must provide the name, address, and phone number of its U.S. Agent such as ITB HOLDINGS LLC.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will not confirm a registration, provide an FDA Establishment Identification (FEI) Number, or provide confirmation of a registration renewal until ITB HOLDINGS LLC confirms it has agreed to serve as U.S. Agent.
