Health Canada Eyes Regulatory Reform, Reclassification Of Sunscreens

摘要

Mealth Canada is reevaluating its oversight of sunscreens and other lower-risk health products currently regulated as drugs, with a view toward reducing "unnecessary red tape" where appropriate. The agency announced in June that it will launch a consultation this fall to explore the proposal that "lower-risk products be separated from the framework for prescription drugs and be moved under a new framework for consumer health products."
