    GlossaryFDA registration

    process of listing products with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

    FDA registration refers to the process by which manufacturers and distributors of certain products, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and food items, must register their facilities with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This registration allows the FDA to monitor and inspect these facilities to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards. It is important to note that FDA registration is not the same as FDA approval, which involves a more rigorous review process to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a product before it can be marketed.

      in Product  127 upvotes 1 month ago
      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment showing promising early results, with hopes for market release by 2028, but skepticism remains due to inconclusive data and past disappointments with similar products. Current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride have side effects, leading some to anticipate PP405 as a safer alternative, though its effectiveness compared to placebo is debated.
