Skin Protectant Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; Astringent Drug Products; Final Monograph; Direct Final Rule; Confirmation of Effective Date

Краткое содержание

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the effective date of October 27, 2003, for the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of June 13, 2003 (68 FR 35290). The direct final rule amends the regulation that established conditions under which over-the-counter (OTC) skin protectant astringent drug products are generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. This action revises some labeling for astringent drug products to be consistent with the final rule for OTC skin protectant drug products (68 FR 33362, June 4, 2003) and adds labeling for certain small packages (styptic pencils). This document confirms the effective date of the direct final rule. This action is part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products.
