Organ-Specific Warnings; Internal Analgesic, Antipyretic, and Antirheumatic Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; Final Monograph; Corrections

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of April 29, 2009. The document requires important new organ-specific warnings and related labeling for over-the-counter (OTC) internal analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic drug products. The new labeling informs consumers about the risk of liver injury when using acetaminophen and the risk of stomach bleeding when using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The document was published with an incorrect Analysis of Impacts section and omitted a reference from the reference section of the final rule. The document was also published with an error in the codified text regarding the introductory sentence to the stomach bleeding warning for NSAIDs. This document replaces the incorrect Analysis of Impacts section with the correct Analysis of Impacts section, adds a reference to the reference section of the final rule, and corrects the codified text.
