Technical Document for Using the Inactive Ingredient Database; Establishment of a Public Docket

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, or the Agency) is announcing the establishment of a public docket to receive comments from interested parties on enhancing the utility and usability of the Inactive Ingredient Database (IID) (also known as the Inactive Ingredient Guide). These comments will help FDA identify best practices to assist Agency staff in designing the IID and maintaining the information contained therein. We intend to identify and further develop these best practices in a technical guide or draft guidance to be issued at a later date.
