Rx-to-OTC switches

Many companies are interested in assessing the balance of risks and benefits associated with conversion of prescription drugs to over-the-counter status, or so-called "Rx-to-OTC switches". PAI pioneered the development of techniques of risk-benefit analysis in support of Rx-to-OTC switches, including nicotine replacement products and H2-blockers. Studies of other "switch" candidates have been completed or are underway.
