Nonprescription drug approval: therapeutic strategy or marketing decision?
DICP 1989 Jul-Aug; 23:(7-8):606-9


Abstract:

The need for professional, unbiased guidance in determining which drugs should be classified as over-the-counter products is discussed; current efforts by pharmaceutical industry marketing departments in establishing OTC criteria are critiqued. It is suggested that an approval mechanism similar to the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention be implemented to select OTC products.

Keywords:
