According to Perrigo, the FDA has approved its NDA for Nasonex 24HR Allergy mometasone furoate nasal spray for the treatment of allergy symptoms, the first branded Rx-to-OTC switch for Perrigo, and the company expects to launch Nasonex 24HR Allergy sometime in 2022. In 2018, the company announced that it had acquired US rights to an OTC version of Nasonex from Merck.
Perrigo Executive VP and President, Consumer Self-Care Americas, Jim Dillard said, “This first Rx-to-OTC switch for Nasonex represents our continued focus on providing quality, affordable self-care products that consumers know and trust. It also epitomizes the strength of our internal innovation, R&D and regulatory capabilities. Successfully bringing Rx-to-OTC switches to market expands offerings available to consumers, enhances offerings for our retail partners and continues to differentiate Perrigo in the marketplace.”
