    rigorous steps to get new drugs approved by authorities

    The Drug Approval Process is a rigorous series of steps that a pharmaceutical company must follow to get a new drug approved for public use by regulatory authorities, such as the FDA in the United States. This process includes preclinical research, multiple phases of clinical trials to test safety and efficacy, and a thorough review of all data before the drug can be marketed.
