2 THE SECOND ANNUAL FULL LIFE CYCLE SWITCH EVENT RX -TO- OTC SWITCH SUMMIT DEAR COLLEAGUE, The process of an Rx-to-OTC switch involves stringent testing, regulatory and safety concerns, and a complicated marketing process. A primary concern in OTC availability is patients self-medicating and self-regulating drugs that were formally prescribed. Improper doses, frequency and combinations could have lethal affects. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the benefits switches create opportunities for a variety of savings. Lives are saved by the use of nicotine replacement therapies, money is saved when patients on heartburn medication do not have to go to the doctor, and even time is saved when individuals purchase OTC yeast infection treatments. Drug manufacturers looking to make an Rx-to-OTC switch with a specific medication need to submit an NDA (new drug application) to the appropriate FDA department, where its safety and efficacy are highly scrutinized before a determination is made regarding whether it can be used responsibly by consumers. ExL s 2nd Rx-to-OTC Switch Summit is designed for industry professionals who are looking to enter the OTC market to gain a better understanding of quality, testing and marketing in the switch process. The summit also focuses on sharing best practices and exploring case studies on how organizations are successfully overcoming switch challenges. This program features: An update from the FDA on the Safe Use Initiative Detailed case studies of successful OTC switches A collaborative, intensive workshop where attendees will learn strategies for a profitable OTC switch An expert speaking faculty delivering presentations on relevant, topical issues in the Rxto-OTC market, such as branding, labeling, future switches and much more WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
