Animal Drug Users Fee Act

The Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA) is a law that requires drug companies to pay fees to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when they submit applications to get new animal drugs approved. This funding helps the FDA review these applications more efficiently, ensuring that veterinary medicines are safe and effective for animals and the humans who consume animal products. ADUFA aims to streamline the approval process, support innovation, and protect public and animal health by providing dedicated resources for regulation.
