3. Proposed rule to address data gaps for certain active ingredients in health care antiseptics
FDA has issued a proposed rule requesting additional scientific data to support the safety and effectiveness of certain active ingredients used in health care antiseptics marketed under the over-the-counter drug monograph.The proposed rule does not require any health care antiseptic products to be removed from the market at this time. Instead, it requires manufacturers who want to continue marketing health care antiseptic products under the monograph to provide the FDA with additional data on the active ingredients’ safety and effectiveness, including data to evaluate absorption, potential hormonal effects and development of bacterial resistance. Once the proposed rule is finalized, ingredients for which adequate safety and effectiveness data have been provided would continue to be available.
