Drug Standards

Drug standards are established guidelines that ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of medications. These standards help to ensure that drugs are manufactured consistently, contain the right ingredients, and work as intended without harmful side effects. Regulatory agencies, like the FDA in the United States, set these standards to protect public health. Drug standards also include testing for purity and strength, as well as ensuring that the manufacturing process follows strict protocols. This helps healthcare providers and patients trust that the medications they use are safe and effective.
