Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulation

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring that drugs and medical products are safe and effective for public use. It regulates the development, testing, approval, and marketing of pharmaceuticals. Before a new drug can be sold, it must undergo rigorous testing to assess its safety and efficacy. The FDA reviews the results and decides whether to approve the drug for use. Additionally, the agency monitors drugs on the market to ensure ongoing safety and can take action if products are found to be harmful.
