What will you never write for an OTC brand?
We never write claims that the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 prohibits, however well supported. We never use words such as cure or miracle. Each page is checked for these before it reaches your team, and your regulatory team signs off.
Who checks the facts on an OTC page?
Your team confirms the facts sheet. Each page is reviewed by a named, qualified expert, and the expert's affiliation is stated. Final sign-off on any claim stays with the client's regulatory team.
