FDA Warns Consumers About the Dangers of Tianeptine

The FDA is warning consumers about the dangers of Tianeptine, an unapproved drug that is "linked to serious harm, overdoses, and death," according to the government.

Supplement Company Owner Pleads Guilty to Selling Steroid-Like Drugs

FDA Warns Two Companies Selling OTC CBD Products For Pain Relief

The FDA has issued warning letters to two companies selling OTC CBD products for pain relief. The items are labeled as containing cannabidiol (CBD) in ways that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The letters address the illegal marketing of unapproved drugs labeled as containing CBD. The FDA has not approved any over-the-counter (OTC) drugs containing CBD, and these products do not meet the requirements to be legally marketed without an approved new drug application. CBD has known pharmacological effects on people, with demonstrated risks, so it can't be legally marketed as an inactive ingredient in OTC drug products that are not approved by the FDA. The letters also cite substandard manufacturing practices, including the failure to comply with … [Read more...]
