Statement From the Consumer Healthcare Products Association on Proposed New 'Third Class' of Medicines
Date:11/14/2007

ines provides an important, cost-effective, and convenient benefit to consumers and to public health. Consumer access to NRT has resulted in tens of thousands of people quitting smoking every year, translating into an annual $2 billion social benefit. Additionally, due to the switch of a number of vaginal antifungals for recurrence of infections, women's visits to the doctor for this condition were reduced by 15 percent in the first four years post-switch.

"We believe that existing statutory and regulatory laws offer sufficient flexibility for companies and FDA to explore new or different approaches to moving prescription medicines to nonprescription status. We are committed to providing innovative solutions to enhance consumer access to OTC medicines."

CHPA is the 126-year-old-trade association representing U.S. manufacturers and distributors of over-the-counter medicines and nutritional supplement products.
