Expert Committee: Chemical Medicines Monographs 5
In accordance with section 7.04 (c) of the Rules and Procedures of the 2015-2020 Council of Experts, this is to provide notice that the Chemical Medicines Monographs 5 Expert Committee intends to revise the Dutasteride monograph to change the relative response factor of dihydrodutasteride from 0.38 to 1.0 to accommodate a drug substance from another FDA approved manufacturer.
The proposed revision will replace the Interim Revision Announcement (IRA) for Dutasteride published in Pharmacopeial Forum (PF) 41(5) [Sep.–Oct. 2015], which becomes official on March 1, 2016.
