Executive Summary
FDA approves a supplemental new drug application for NeatPAX, a travel-size carton with 10 powder packets of MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol). The SNDA was submitted by Schering-Plough in April 2009, before its acquisition by Merck closed. FDA's May 5 1letter to the firm approves additional labeling for the laxative, including the statement "Sugar Free" for all stock-keeping units.
