    Hi Susan.

    I would also strongly recommend that you determine if you need any state licensing from wherever your company is based as well as wherever your manufacturing facility is located.  I know in NY we needed to get a license from the State Board of Pharmacy in order to be allowed to produce the OTC products and in CA we also have to register and upkeep our information with the CA Department of Public Health.

    I would echo the state drug manufacturing registration.

    Otherwise, in terms of FDA compliance completing the three-step registration (establishment registration, NDC <g class="gr_ gr_52 gr-alert gr_spell gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="52" data-gr-id="52">relabeler</g> request, and drug listing) along with a verification that the product (formulation and labeling) complies with the relevant monograph you should be set to go. I find with clients they are often already registered but either <g class="gr_ gr_200 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace" id="200" data-gr-id="200">overlook</g> the monograph or forget to list.
