Drug Regulations and Compliance

Drug regulations and compliance refer to the laws and guidelines that govern the development, approval, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These regulations ensure that medications are safe, effective, and of high quality before they reach consumers. Agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforce these rules, requiring companies to conduct thorough testing and provide evidence of their drugs' safety and effectiveness. Compliance means that pharmaceutical companies must follow these regulations consistently to avoid penalties, protect public health, and maintain trust in the medication supply.
