    Glossary FDA approval

    process ensuring a product's safety and effectiveness for public use

    FDA approval is the process by which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally evaluates and authorizes a product, such as a medication or medical device, for public use based on evidence of its safety, efficacy, and quality. This rigorous process involves multiple phases of clinical trials and extensive review of data to ensure that the benefits of the product outweigh any potential risks.
