Can I tell if FDA has approved a product by looking at the label?

En Español

No, products are not required to be marked "FDA approved."

  • To find out if a prescription or over-the-counter drug is approved by FDA, visit Drugs@FDA. If you would like more information, call 301-827-4573 or 888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) or send an e-mail to druginfo@fda.hhs.gov.
