The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 authorized the FDA to determine the safety of
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3




all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control and ensure
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3




drug safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot be used
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3

psychological and physical dependence. Schedule Idrugs havehigh potentialforabuse and no
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3

c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3




moderate physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Schedule IV drugs have low

Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive highest
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3

priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority manner. Preclinical
c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3 c3




research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean alongertimeto develop a
