Cold, cough, allergy, bronchodilator, and antiasthmatic drug products for over-the-counter human use; partial final rule for combination drug products containing a bronchodilator. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule establishing that cough-cold combination drug products containing any oral bronchodilator active ingredient in combination with any analgesic(s) or analgesic-antipyretic(s), anticholinergic, antihistamine, oral antitussive, or stimulant active ingredient are not generally recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded for over-the-counter (OTC) use. FDA is issuing this final rule after receiving no public comments on the agency's proposed nonmonograph status of these specific combination drug products, which was issued in the form of a tentative final monograph for OTC cough-cold combination drug products. This final rule is part of the ongoing review of OTC drug products conducted by FDA.
