[Docket No. 85N-0049]
RIN 0905-AA06
Antacid Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; Amendment
of Antacid Final Monograph; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of August 26, 1993 (58 FR
45204). The document amended the final monograph for over-the-counter
(OTC) antacid drug products to require that all antacid drug products
contain the statement: ``Drug Interaction Precaution: Antacids may
interact with certain prescription drugs. If you are presently taking a
prescription drug, do not take this product without checking with your
physician or other health professional.'' The document was published
with an error in the amendatory language. This document corrects that
error.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 25, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William E. Gilbertson, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (HFD-810), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-594-5000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has discovered that the amendatory
language in the final rule published in the Federal Register of August
26, 1993 (58 FR 45204), was incorrect. The amendatory language, as
published, revised the introductory text of Sec. 331.30(d); it should
have revised Sec. 331.30(d) to remove paragraph (d)(1). Accordingly,
FDA is removing paragraph (d)(1) to correct this error.
List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 331
Labeling, Over-the-counter drugs.
Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part
331 is amended as follows:
PART 331--ANTACID PRODUCTS FOR OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) HUMAN USE
1. The authority citation for 21 CFR part 331 continues to read as
follows:

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 351, 352, 353,
355, 360, 371).
Sec. 331.30 [Amended]
