CHPA comments on issues associated with the public health benefit of certain drugs being available without a prescription, but only after intervention by a pharmacist.
We understand that FDA is considering a switch of a second generation antihistamine, from prescription to OTC status, over the objections of the company. CHPA opposes a policy to force switch over the objections of the drug sponsor.
This submission represents CHPA's detailed written comments as follow-up to the June meeting and is intended to complement the Association's oral presentation.
