What Does TFM Stand For?

TFM stands for Tentative Final Monograph

TFM, or Tentative Final Monograph, is a regulatory document issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that outlines the proposed final formulation and usage guidelines for a specific category of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. It serves as a critical step in the FDA's review process, allowing stakeholders to comment on the proposed standards before they become finalized. The TFM aims to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of OTC drug products, providing clarity and consistency for manufacturers and consumers alike.
