Medicines Regulation

Medicines regulation involves the process of ensuring that medicines are safe, effective, and of high quality before they reach patients. Regulatory agencies review scientific data from clinical trials, manufacturing practices, and quality controls to approve new medicines. They also monitor medicines after approval to detect any safety issues. This oversight helps protect public health by preventing unsafe or ineffective drugs from being used and ensuring that approved medicines consistently meet standards. Overall, medicines regulation balances access to treatments with safety and quality assurance through rigorous, science-based evaluation and continuous monitoring.
