Drug Facts purpose
Antacid
19 products declare this as the purpose of their active ingredient, in the Purpose line of their own Drug Facts panel.
Purpose is a regulatory category, not a complaint. The Drug Facts panel requires a labeller to name what the ingredient does, using the vocabulary the monograph gives it. "Oral anesthetic" describes the mechanism; it is not the same as saying a product is for mouth pain. That is why purpose and stated use are kept on separate pages here rather than merged into one idea of what a lozenge is for.
