Pharmaceutical Regulations

Pharmaceutical regulations are rules and guidelines established by governments and health authorities to ensure that medicines are safe, effective, and of high quality. These regulations govern how drugs are developed, tested, manufactured, and marketed. They require rigorous clinical trials to assess a drug's safety and efficacy before it can be sold to the public. Regulatory agencies, like the FDA in the United States, review this data and grant approval for new drugs. Continuous monitoring also ensures that any issues that arise after a drug is on the market are addressed promptly to protect public health.
