Import Tips
• Confirm powder is sterile and provide dissolution instructions on labeling per FDA OTC guidelines
• Document measured dose equivalents (e.g
• 17g per serving) to distinguish from bulk laxative preparations
• Test for homogeneity if mixed with flavorings to avoid reclassification as a mixed product
