Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act

The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA), enacted in 1997, aimed to update and improve the regulation of drugs, medical devices, and food products. It streamlined approval processes, encouraging innovation and faster access to new therapies. The law also enhanced transparency by providing clearer communication about product risks and benefits. Additionally, it focused on modernizing testing methods, promoting better patient safety, and updating regulations to reflect advances in science and technology. Overall, FDAMA sought to make regulatory processes more efficient while maintaining high standards for public health.
