Title: Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Review--Internal Analgesic Products 
Abstract: The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. One action addresses labeling intended to better inform consumers of potential risks associated with these products. The second action addresses products marketed for children under 2 years old and weight- and age-based dosing for children's products. The third action addresses combination products containing the analgesic acetaminophen or aspirin and sodium bicarbonate used as an antacid ingredient. The fourth action addresses products labeled to relieve upset stomach associated with overindulgence in food and drink and to relieve symptoms associated with a hangover. The Stevens Johnson and Cardiovascular Warnings documents address new proposed product warnings.
