Summary
Medical claims are now restricted to Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs only when consistent with the Drug Facts label; all other products cannot make any medical claims implying diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation, or prevention of diseases without professional supervision.
Why it matters
This change tightens restrictions on health-related claims, increasing compliance risk for sellers and creators who promote non-OTC products with medical claims, potentially leading to content removal or account penalties.
Recommended action
Review all product listings and content to ensure medical claims comply with the new OTC-only allowance and Drug Facts label consistency; remove or revise non-compliant claims immediately.
Medical Claims: For non-Over-the-Counter (non-OTC) products, any statements that imply a product can diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition without professional supervision are prohibited.
Medical claims are only permitted for Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs when they are fully consistent with the Drug Facts label (specifically the “Uses” section).
All other products must not make medical claims of any kind.
