    Dietary Supplements and Nutraceuticals

    Our retail law attorneys have extensive knowledge of the issues clients may face with regard to:

    • The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act governing prescription drugs, formulary issues, dietary supplements and over-the-counter medications
    • The Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act (DSHEA)
    • The Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act
    • State-level pharmacy practice acts

    Parsons Behle & Latimer attorneys have used their unique skills in this area and have helped clients steer clear of regulatory actions and to avoid criminal charges or civil action by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
