Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)

The Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is a division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responsible for reviewing and approving new medications before they reach the market. It ensures that drugs are safe, effective, and manufactured to high standards. CDER evaluates scientific data from clinical trials, monitors drug safety once they are available to the public, and provides guidance to promote the development of new treatments. Its goal is to protect and promote public health by facilitating access to trustworthy, high-quality medicines.
