What is US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)?

The US FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, the nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. The FDA also helps the public obtain accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.

How is a medicine approved by FDA?

Drug companies seeking approval to sell a drug in the United States must test it. The company then sends FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) the data from the various tests to prove that the drug is safe and effective for its intended use. A team of CDER physicians, statisticians, chemists, pharmacologists, and other scientists reviews the company's data and proposed labeling. If this review establishes that a drug's health benefits outweigh its known risks, the drug is approved for sale.
