                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 201 LABELING--Table of Contents
 
   Subpart G Specific Labeling Requirements for Specific Drug Products
 
Sec.  201.315  Over-the-counter drugs for minor sore throats; suggested 

warning.

    The Food and Drug Administration has studied the problem of the 
labeling of lozenges or troches containing a local anesthetic, chewing 
gum containing aspirin, various mouth washes and gargles and other 
articles sold over the counter for the relief of minor irritations of 
the mouth or throat. It will not object to the labeling of suitable 
articles of this type ``For the temporary relief of minor sore 
throats'', provided this is immediately followed in the labeling with a 
warning statement in prominent type essentially as follows: ``Warning--
Severe or persistent sore throat or sore throat accompanied by high 
fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting may be serious. Consult physician 
promptly. Do not use more than 2 days or administer to children under 3 
years of age unless directed by physician.''
