New 2004 FDA Budget Announces Proactive” Policy on Rx-to-OTC Switches Forced Switch” Policy Shift Was Predicted by Francesco International
In a possible seismic change in the role of Rx-to-OTC importance in the US healthcare system, the US FDA so far this year has done the following: • In February announced in their 2004 Budget their intention to be more aggressive regarding switches. The 2004 Budget indicates their explicit desire to implement a major emphasis on increasing switches as a means of improving public health. • In March they began to pressure Pfizer and Aventis to force the switch of their non-sedating antihistamines well in advance of the products’ patent expiration. • In April, through various statements by FDA staffers, it became clear that more products beyond non-sedating antihistamines were being scrutinized for forced switch potential. • In May the FDA Commissioner confirmed that he felt the FDA had the legal authority to force Rx-to-OTC switches in the future. These changes were predicted 3 years ago by Francesco International Francesco International is a full service advisory and thought-leader, specializing in the proper and best management of the later stages of a pharmaceutical product’s lifecycle. 2003-05-09
