This action is being taken in response to a citizen petition for a stay of enforcement of regulatory action against OTC nasal decongestant drug products containing the active ingredient l-desoxyephedrine. The agency is also providing labeling requirements for OTC topical nasal decongestant drug products containing l-desoxyephedrine. This action is part of the ongoing review of OTC drug products conducted by FDA.
