Adverse Event Reporting Law Information
The Adverse Event Reporting (AER) law, which became effective in December 2007, amended the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to require the reporting of “serious” adverse events for both over the counter (OTC) drugs and dietary supplements.
NPA has comprehensively reported on this regulation from before its implementation and has continually provided assistance and guidance to members once the law went into effect. This section provides the latest news and key information regarding the law and NPA actions regarding it.
