What the document says

“a timeline for an assessment of the potential need, as appropriate, for labeling changes, revised or additional postmarketing requirements, enforcement actions, or withdrawals for opioid analgesic drugs”

To reauthorize certain programs that provide for opioid use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery, and for other purposes, Sec. 112

The section lists four contents for the report: an update on actions the FDA has taken on the effectiveness, safety, benefit and risk profile and use of approved opioid analgesic drugs; a timeline for assessing possible labeling changes, postmarketing requirements, enforcement actions or withdrawals; an overview of steps taken to support nonaddictive products; and an overview of the agency's consideration of clinical trial methods.

What the document actually says

“a timeline for an assessment of the potential need, as appropriate, for labeling changes, revised or additional postmarketing requirements, enforcement actions, or withdrawals for opioid analgesic drugs”

To reauthorize certain programs that provide for opioid use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery, and for other purposes, Sec. 112
That sentence, in plain words

The report must set out a schedule. The schedule covers checks on what may need to change. Labels, extra safety studies, or even pulling a drug are all on that list.

What this is about

A postmarket study is done after a drug goes on sale. Withdrawal means pulling a drug off the market. The report only sets a schedule for looking at these.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
