House passes AER bill
The Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (otherwise known as the “AER bill”) cleared the House of Representatives
The AER bill, S. 3546 and H.R. 6168, will amend the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to require manufacturers to notify the FDA of all serious adverse events (AEs) reported to them for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and dietary supplements. It now goes to President Bush for his signature, and Citizens for Health urges the President to sign without delay.
