FDA Proposes Rule to Allow Interchangeable Labeling Terms for Over-the-Counter Drugs

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing a rule change to allow for the interchangeable use of certain labeling terms for over-the-counter (OTC) human drugs, including phrases like 'doctor' or 'physician' and 'consult' or 'ask'. The proposal aims to simplify labeling for OTC drugs, which are regulated by the FDA.
