Thank you @SenJonHusted and @SenBillCassidy for continuing to support the importance of Rx-to-OTC switch. Expanding access to trusted self-care products helps consumers get the treatments they rely on when and where they need them while supporting a more accessible and efficient healthcare system. https://t.co/cntFpjSkV6

Thank you to U.S. Rep @BobLatta for recognizing the important role OTC medicines play in improving access to care. Modernizing the Rx-to-OTC switch pathway will help encourage innovation while expanding access to safe, effective nonprescription medicines that consumers can use without unnecessary barriers.

[Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) @CHPA]

We applaud U.S. Representative @BobLatta for his continued support for commonsense, bipartisan policies that expand access to safe, effective OTC self-care options for consumers, empowering individuals to safely manage everyday health needs on their own.

[Energy and Commerce Committee @HouseCommerce]

Congressman @BobLatta is right: we must be looking for opportunities to expand access to safe, effective, and affordable treatment options.

The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act of 2026 includes the Nonprescription Drug Innovation Act, which helps address unmet health needs and encourage innovation for patients who currently lack nonprescription treatment options.

What would you do with an extra afternoon?

As we count down to #InternationalSelfCareDay, we’re recognizing how trusted OTC medicines, dietary supplements, and OTC medical devices help save an estimated 1.4 billion hours each year across North America. Protecting access to these trusted self-care options benefits consumers and our overall healthcare system. #SelfCareIsHealthcare

#ICYMI: Missouri recently took an important step to modernize access to OTC cold and #allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) while maintaining strong safeguards against misuse. CHPA applauds @GovMikeKehoe and Missouri lawmakers for advancing this commonsense law, which improves consumer access, preserves real-time tracking protections, and supports the products families rely on.

Happy #FourthOfJuly! Alongside our campaign partners, we’re sharing one simple reminder this holiday weekend: don’t forget to #WearSunscreen—your future self will thank you. Reapply every two hours to keep the celebration going safely. https://t.co/I5ZltrkhQS #America250 @PCPC_News @SkinCancerOrg @CureMelanoma

July is #UVSafety Awareness Month, and @AADskin reminds us to:

✅ Seek shade
✅ Wear protective clothing
✅ Apply (and reapply) sunscreen

Daily habits matter, and so does access to safe, effective sunscreen options. Continued progress, like the FDA’s approval of a new sunscreen ingredient, helps expand choice and support innovation in sun protection. #WearSunscreen

CHPA built strong momentum on Capitol Hill this week alongside @AmerDentalAssn, advancing legislation to expand HSA/FSA eligibility for oral care essentials. We appreciate the strong engagement from Members of Congress and look forward to continuing this work to expand access to self-care.
