The increased relevance of over-the-counter (OTC) and self-care products to consumers and patients was the impetus for the development of Lifecycle Management Through the Rx-to-OTC Switch, the new, practical reference manual from RAPS.

Through a series of case studies, Lifecycle Management Through the Rx-to-OTC Switch will guide readers through the basic requirements for implementing a switch to increase availability of, access to, and adoption of OTC medications. This comprehensive manual is a must read for anyone involved in or responsible for understanding the regulatory requirements and developmental stages of a successful switch program.

Lifecycle Management Through the Rx-to-OTC Switch was developed for regulatory professionals of all levels, including newcomers and seasoned professionals, ranging from those working in product development and marketing to those in regulatory affairs.
