FDA Orders New Warnings for OTC Pain Drugs
The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it will order the makers of over-the-counter pain relievers to add more prominent labels on products such as Tylenol and Advil warning of potential stomach bleeding or liver damage. News of the labeling change comes as the FDA prepares for a public meeting on how to reduce the risk of liver damage from acetaminophen-containing products. Drug makers must change their warning labels by next April.
