Your Antispasmodic Tincture, Echinacea Tonic, High Blood Pressure II, and Insomnia Formula products are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced uses and, therefore, these products are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)]. With certain exceptions not applicable here, new drugs may not be legally introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without prior approval from FDA, as described in sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. §§ 331(d), 355(a)].

Source excerpt · automated text-match check

Your Antispasmodic Tincture, Echinacea Tonic, High Blood Pressure II, and Insomnia Formula products are intended for treatment of one or more diseases that are not amenable to self-diagnosis or treatment without the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Therefore, it is impossible to write adequate directions for a layperson to use your products safely for their intended purposes. Accordingly, your Antispasmodic Tincture, Echinacea Tonic, High Blood Pressure II, and Insomnia Formula products fail to bear adequate directions for their intended use and, therefore, the products are misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)].
