Abstract:

Trends favoring more prescription-to-OTC switches include the need for containing rising health care costs and the interests of consumers in self-management of nonserious conditions. The decision-making process that is used by the FDA continues to evolve, incorporating considerations of product safety, labeling, and more recently, cost issues.
