Current Issues in the Regulation of Dietary Supplements

This webinar will explain FDA regulations and current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) for dietary supplements. Attendees will learn how to comply with these regulations and avoid enforcement actions.

Why Should You Attend:

As the use of dietary supplements has increased, so have reports of adverse events, either due to adulteration or drug interactions. This has resulted in an increased interest from regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The regulation of these dietary supplements falls in between food and drugs. While much of the current regulatory framework is voluntary, it is likely that as time goes by, it will become more and more mandatory. Manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers of dietary supplements need to be compliant with these regulations.

This webinar will help the attendees learn of their regulatory obligations and the penalties that can accrue for noncompliance. This 90 minute webinar will focus on educating this emerging field and how to comply with your documentation and reporting obligations.
