Marketed Unapproved Drugs FDA to Take Immediate Enforcement Action at Any Time, Without Prior Notice
Product Details
As of September 19, 2011, all unapproved drugs introduced onto the market are subject to immediate enforcement action.
FDA’s new guidance on Marketed Unapproved Drugs is stronger than the 2006 crackdown that resulted in dozens of warning letters and consent decrees.
This time, there are six specific priorities for stepped-up enforcement — and enforcement action can occur at any time without prior notice and without regard to prior enforcement policies.
Could the FDA target you? Here’s how to get ready. Fast.
The FDA’s six priorities for stepped-up enforcement of rules against the marketing of unapproved drugs include:
- Drugs with potential safety risks
- Drugs that lack evidence about effectiveness
- Health fraud drugs
- Drugs that present direct challenges to the new drug approval and OTC drug monograph systems
- Unapproved new drugs that in any way violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
- Drugs that have been reformulated to evade an FDA enforcement action
Don’t risk severe new enforcement actions! Rely on this FDAnews webinar to get you and your entire team up to speed with what the FDA’s new guidance says, who it targets, and what steps you need to be taking now to troubleshoot your marketing and shore up compliance.
