FDA Issues Final Rule on Octoxynol 9 in OTC Vaginal Contraceptive Products

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a final rule stating that octoxynol 9, a certain ingredient in over-the-counter (OTC) vaginal contraceptive drug products, is not generally recognized as safe and effective or is misbranded. The FDA made this decision after considering reports and recommendations from OTC drug advisory review panels and public comments on proposed regulations.
