Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration is announcing a call-for-data for safety and effectiveness information on the following condition as part of FDA's ongoing review of over-the-counter (OTC) drug products: Ecamsule (terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid), in concentrations of up to 10 percent, as a sunscreen single active ingredient and in combination with other sunscreen active ingredients that are generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) and are found in the sunscreen monograph regulations.

FDA will evaluate the submitted data and information to determine whether ecamsule can be generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for its proposed OTC use.
