House Maintains Momentum For OTC Monograph Reform, Senate Regard TBD

House passes, with large bipartisan support, Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act, which includes Over-the-Counter Monograph Safety, Innovation, and Reform Act for modernizing FDA's system overseeing vast majority of OTC drugs. Provisions would allow FDA to use administrative orders, rather than notice-and-comment rulemakings, to add ingredients, dosages, delivery formats or indications to monographs, or drugs marketed without approved applications.
