Is Consumer Medication Information (CMI) FDA approved?

The key idea is that FDA approval applies to a drug’s official labeling and, for certain drugs, to the FDA-approved Medication Guide. Consumer Medication Information is a patient-education sheet that pharmacies or manufacturers may provide, but it is not submitted for FDA approval and is not an FDA-approved document. It must align with the approved labeling, but it isn’t itself approved by the agency. That’s why the correct answer is No. Choices suggesting approval exists at all, or that it varies by drug, would imply FDA oversight that doesn’t apply to CMI’s standalone document.
