In plaintiff's Lanham Act suit against defendants involving an oral laxative and over-the-counter versions of the drug manufactured by defendants, dismissal of plaintiff's complaint without prejudice is affirmed as the FDA is conducting a proceeding to determine whether defendants' drugs are misbranded now that there is an over-the-counter version of the drug.
