Federal Drug Administration

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety and effectiveness of food, drugs, vaccines, and other medical products. It reviews scientific data from manufacturers to approve new medications and treatments and regulates the safety of food and cosmetics. The FDA also monitors products after they reach the market to ensure ongoing safety. By overseeing these areas, the FDA plays a crucial role in maintaining public trust in the healthcare system and ensuring that consumers have access to safe and effective products.
