[RC] Docket No. 2006D-0480, CAM Guidance FDA regulating alternative medicine - kramspott

Does anyone know if this would apply to alternative medicines for animals?


SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 
availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Complementary 
and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and 
Drug Administration.'' In recent years, the practice of complementary 
and alternative medicine (CAM) has increased in the United States, and 
we have seen increased confusion as to whether certain products used in 
CAM are subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the act) or Public Health Service Act (PHS Act). We have 
also seen an increase in the number of CAM products imported into the 
United States. Therefore, the draft guidance discusses when a CAM 
product is subject to the act or the PHS Act.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the draft guidance by 
April 30, 2007. General comments on agency guidance documents are 
welcome at any time.
