ANS: A ty



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



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



safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot be used safely
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



without medical supervision and restricts their sale to prescription by a licensed practitioner. The C
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



ontrolled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances and their categorization. The Kefau
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



ver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and greater drug safety. Drug manufacturers ar
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty



e required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their products before marketing them.
