1. "FDA-approved" 핵심 3가지

1) What FDA-approved Means

FDA-approved means that a product, such as a drug or medical device, has undergone rigorous review to ensure its safety and effectiveness. The FDA evaluates the clinical data provided by manufacturers and checks if the benefits of the product outweigh the risks. Once approved, products are allowed to be marketed for their intended use. The FDA continues to oversee these products even after approval, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

2) The Approval Process for Drugs

The FDA drug approval process is thorough and includes several stages of testing. It starts with preclinical research, usually in labs and animals, to assess potential safety concerns. This is followed by clinical trials in humans, which are done in phases to gather more data on safety and efficacy. The process can take years, ensuring that FDA-approved drugs meet the highest standards before reaching the market.

3) Biological Products and FDA Approval

For biological products like vaccines and gene therapies, the FDA requires additional steps. These products must meet strict manufacturing and safety standards before they are FDA-approved. The agency also monitors their production and conducts lot release testing, ensuring real-time quality control. This helps maintain the high standards expected for FDA-approved biological treatments.

 

2. 추가적으로 유의해야 할 정보 4가지

1) FDA’s Role in Medical Devices

The FDA uses a risk-based approach for medical devices, classifying them into three categories based on potential harm to users. High-risk devices require FDA approval, while moderate-risk devices can be cleared if they are similar to previously approved devices. Low-risk devices may be exempt from premarket notifications, but all devices must still meet safety standards to be FDA-approved.

2) Emergency Use Authorization vs. Full Approval

In emergencies, the FDA can issue an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for unapproved products to be used temporarily. However, FDA-approved products have gone through full trials and reviews. The EUA process is faster but still relies on safety data, whereas full approval ensures comprehensive testing and long-term monitoring.

3) FDA Approval of Food Additives

The FDA also regulates food additives, ensuring they are safe for consumption before being approved for use. Companies must provide data to demonstrate that the additives meet safety standards. Some additives, like those considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS), do not need premarket approval but must still comply with FDA regulations.

4) Misconceptions About FDA Approval

Not all products on the market need FDA approval, such as cosmetics or compounded drugs. These products are not subject to the same rigorous review as FDA-approved drugs or medical devices. It's important to recognize which products have undergone the full FDA approval process and which have not, ensuring consumers make informed choices.
