Will FDA Agree to Loosen the Off-Label Promotion Limits?

  • Industry: Sales and Marketing

The US FDA recently held a 2-day public hearing to seek input for more flexible regulations on off-label promotion for drugs and devices. Pharmaceutical, medical device, and insurance industries, health and safety advocates, as well as physicians and patients packed a room for two full days at the FDA’s campus to debate on these rules and regulations.

Dr. Robert Califf, the FDA commissioner, said that ultimately, the analysis of the regulations is to ensure that the system "best protects and promotes the public health and the well-being of patients."

Pharmaceutical companies stated that current marketing regulations are too restrictive.

Patients argued that relaxing these regulations would be a "public health disaster."

Non-prescription (OTC) drugs marketed without an approved application are also subject to adverse event reporting requirements, under section 760 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. A report of each adverse drug experience which is both serious and unexpected must be made to the Agency, as soon as possible, but no later than 15 days, after receiving information about the event.
