FDA-approved drug

An FDA-approved drug has been thoroughly evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety, effectiveness, and quality. This approval process involves rigorous testing through clinical trials to ensure the medication benefits outweigh potential risks. Once approved, the drug can be legally marketed and prescribed for specific conditions. FDA approval indicates the drug has met high standards and is considered safe for patients when used as directed. It does not mean the drug is free of side effects or suitable for everyone, but it confirms that the benefits have been scientifically validated.
