Post Marketing Commitments

Post Marketing Commitments (PMCs) and Post Marketing Requirements (PMRs) are studies and clinical trials conducted by a sponsor after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a drug or biological product. The studies/trials are designed to generate additional information about the product’s safety, efficacy, or optimal use. PMCs are studies or trials a sponsor has agreed with FDA to conduct; they are not required by statute or regulation. PMRs are studies or trials that sponsors are required to conduct post-approval according to statute or regulation.

Forest Laboratories, Inc. is subject to PMCs and PMRs covering a range of studies/trials in various stages of development. Descriptions and information about the nature and status of the PMRs and PMCs currently active for Forest products can be found by clicking here. In addition, the FDA website provides a searchable database of information on PMRs and PMCs, which can be accessed by clicking here: FDA website.
