Warnings issued on grass pollen allergens, diet drug, delivery devices

Grass pollen allergens

Beginning July 8, nonstandardized extracts of eight grass pollen allergens no longer will be for sale in the United States. They have been replaced by standardized grass pollen extracts, which include Kentucky (June) Bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Meadow Fescue (Festuca elatior), Orchard (Dactylis glomerata), Perennial Rye (Lolium perenne), Redtop (Agrostis alba), Sweet Vernal (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Timothy (Phleum pratense) and Bermuda (Cynodon dactylon) grass.

The FDA Center for Biologies Evaluation and Research (CBER) has licensed nine allergenic extract product manufacturers to produce and distribute the new standardized extracts. A complete listing of manufacturers may be obtained from the FDA CBER Web site: http://www.fda.gov/cber/apprl997/1997grass.htm.
