US OTC Drug Monograph Age Restrictions

  • 1.  US OTC Drug Monograph Age Restrictions

    Posted 30-Jul-2014 10:17
    All,

    When an OTC monograph does not specify a lower age limit (e.g. the monographs for wart removers or ophthalmic lubricants) is there a default age below which the product is not considered appropriate for use?  Or should that be taken to mean the product is safe for all ages?

    This seems basic, but I couldn't find a clear answer in the CFR or on the FDA website.

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
