The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Limiting the Use of Certain Phthalates as Excipients in CDER-Regulated Products.'' This draft guidance provides the pharmaceutical industry with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's (CDER's) current thinking on the potential human health risks associated with exposure to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). In particular, the draft guidance recommends that the pharmaceutical industry avoid the use of these two specific phthalates as excipients in CDER- regulated drug and biologic products, including prescription and nonprescription products.
