Regulatory Review Processes

Regulatory review processes involve government agencies evaluating new products, such as medicines, medical devices, or chemicals, to ensure they are safe and effective before they reach the market. This review includes examining scientific data, manufacturing practices, and potential risks. The goal is to protect public health while allowing beneficial innovations. The process can be thorough and may include multiple stages of assessment, feedback, and sometimes additional testing. Once approved, the product can be legally sold and used, but agencies may continue monitoring to ensure ongoing safety.
