The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled “Statement of Identity and Strength--Content and Format of Labeling for Human Nonprescription Drug Products.” This draft guidance provides recommendations for the content and format of the required statement of identity on the labeling of human nonprescription drug products. This draft guidance also provides recommendations on the inclusion of the drug product’s strength on the labeling. The recommendations in this draft guidance are intended to help manufacturers, packers, distributors, applicants, relabelers, and sponsors ensure consistent content and format of the statement of identity and strength for all human nonprescription drug products. Consistent content and format of the statement of identity and strength may aid consumers in comparing nonprescription drug products and assist consumers in appropriate self-selection.
