Safety and Efficacy Guidelines

Safety and efficacy guidelines are standards established to ensure that a medical product, such as a drug or treatment, is both safe to use and effective in achieving its intended purpose. Safety guidelines assess potential risks and side effects to protect patients, while efficacy guidelines evaluate whether the product reliably produces the desired health benefits. Regulatory agencies review data against these guidelines before approving a product, ensuring it meets quality standards and provides a favorable balance of benefits over risks for public use.
