Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Because after the drug has been injected it cannot be retreived..

Go to www.usajobs.opm.gov and look for FDA jobs. I think they are under the General Schedule (GS) pay scale and I'm sure it all depends on what you do for the FDA. My guess is that they start at a GS-5.

The FDA was asked to set a minimum age limit on the use of tanning salons in 2013.

The principal reason that the FDA has banned the sale of products containing ephedrine is due to its potential health risks. Ephedrine has been associated with serious side effects, including cardiovascular problems and even death. The ban was implemented to protect consumers from these potential dangers.

That all depends on their age, height, gender and if they want to lose weight, gain weight or stay the same weight. Most government daily requirements, listed on the sides of all foods sold in markets in the U-S, are presumed to be for a 2,000 calorie diet per day.

Cause the FDA are constitutional violators, nearly every Federal agency in existence is unconstitutional, the Federal government is not suppose to be handling internal things, all internal things are suppose to be handled by State and local governments pursuiant to the 10th amendment State Sovereignty.

Federal is suppose to handle only external things, like if a foreign nation invaded us, then Federal in responsible to protect us from foreign invasion but Federal should not be responsible for Education that should be handled at State and local levels.

And yeah even the Amish are getting their rights violated sadly.

The full form of FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. It is a regulatory agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs, medical devices, and food products.

The FDA inspects facilities to ensure compliance with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and can seek criminal or civil penalties against both companies and individuals when its regulations are violated. Intentionally defrauding or misleading the FDA or violating the act may be a felony, but the concept of strict liability means that even those who unintentionally violate the act can be prosecuted for misdemeanors because intent is not required to violate the law. Misdemeanor violations may result in fines of up to $1,000 and up to 1 year in prison. But criminal prosecutions are relatively rare because the various remedies at FDA's disposal, such as recalls and seizures, and the bad publicity that violations of the Act can generate and the desire of most companies to comply with FDA regulations are sufficient to ensure, if not complete compliance with FDA requirements, at least an honest effort by the vast majority of companies and individuals working in FDA-regulated industries.

I find it very troubling that students are asking people on Answers.com to do their homework for them. There are many who ask health related questions. The failure to study and understand the material to be able to answer these questions will put patients at risk.

Who wants an intellectually lazy doctor, nurse, pharmacist or other health professional making decisions about their life ?

A lot of reasons. Shellfish spoil easily and can make people sick. Some people are deathly allergic to shellfish. Also most shellfish are filter feeders meaning they eat whatever floats to them in the water's current and can contain dangerous amounts of heavy metals (like mercury or lead) which are deadly.

Everyone in the U.S. is affected by the FDA. FDA regulates all foods not regulated by the USDA plus FDA regulates Drugs, Medical Devices (includes everything from toothbrushes and tongue depressors to pacemakers and x-ray machines), Biologics (like blood), Cosmetics, and now Cigarettes. Anyone who imports these items into the U.S. would also be affected.

The category number or level codes that represent services and procedures that have been approved by the FDA and proven to have clinical effectiveness are typically found in category 1 codes. Category 1 codes are used for procedures, services, and tests that have been well-established through clinical research and have a demonstrated clinical effectiveness. These codes are widely accepted by insurance companies and healthcare providers.

The FDA defines "low sodium" as containing 140 mg or less of sodium per serving. This designation is intended to help consumers identify food items that are lower in sodium content compared to their regular counterparts.

"In 2006 Skin Medica, Inc. received approval of their application from the FDA to market a new product called Desonate. Desonate has been approved to treat mild to moderate atopic dermatitis."

The FDA should publish Therapeutic index (TI) values for all drugs but they do not. Therefore it is not possible to know what the FDA considers acceptable. The therapeutic index (toxic dose/effective dose) should not be less than 1 because a drug should have beneficial actions at the same or lower plasma concentrations that cause toxicity. However, cytotoxic drugs to treat cancer, by definition are toxic in order to do their beneficial action of killing rapidly dividing cells. Therefore a therapeutic index of 1 is not unusual for a chemotherapy drug. Most drugs have a therapeutic index of 2 or higher. A TI of 2 is a dangerous drug and the patient must be watched carefully for signs of toxicity. Drugs with a TI of 5 or 10 are safer drugs. Some drugs with great selectivity and minimal toxicity have TIs of 50 to 100. These can be given as on large dose that will continue to work well for several days but drugs that can be used this way are unusual, like a few of the antibiotics that kill prokaryotic bacteria but have little or no effect on eukaryotic human cells. The most serious problem we are facing in medicine today is the use of many drugs together (polypharmacy) that make any drug with a low therapeutic index far more danger. Interactions that raise plasma concentrations of low TI drugs can be lethal even if the drug interaction is a C or D level interaction and not the X level drug interactions that are typically monitored. Far too many people die or are seriously harmed due to drug interactions with drugs having low therapeutic indices of approximately 2. We need to get the FDA to publish all of the TI values. The drug database companies would like to publish these numbers to improve patient safety. Without TI values, electronic record and CPOE systems are not reducing patient deaths or lower health care costs.

what was the year the FDA stated their website page.

The congressional committee that has oversight of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This committee has jurisdiction over a wide range of issues, including health care, biomedical research, and the regulation of food and drugs. They hold hearings, conduct investigations, and propose legislation to ensure the FDA operates effectively and efficiently to protect public health.

No. At this time, there has been no FDA approval for Extenze. This can be confirmed two different ways. 1) http://www.4extenze.net/FAQs.htm at the bottom of this page there is a disclosure: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. ExtenZe® is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

2) http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name You can search the FDA Drug database and find any drugs that have been evaluated/approved. Extenze is not on this list.

Duragesic, like any medicine, is only dangerous to those who misuse it or don't respect its potency. Typically those who it affects adversely are those who aren't opiate tolerant, and the drug is specifically intended for patients who have already been on high doses of opiates previously.

The FDA has no plans to withdraw it, though manufacturers have been working on the delivery system so that the patches can't be misused or the fentanyl extracted.

USP (United States Pharmacopeia) is an independent organization that sets quality standards for medicines, dietary supplements, and other healthcare products in the United States. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is a government agency responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs, medical devices, food, and cosmetics. The FDA often references the USP standards in its regulations and uses them as a benchmark for determining the quality of pharmaceutical products.

Yes, desmopressin is approved for the treatment of nocturia in adults. It is a synthetic form of the hormone vasopressin, and it works by reducing the production of urine during the night, thereby reducing the frequency of nocturnal voiding episodes.

The European Medicines Agency (EMEA)

That really depends who the regulating authority is. Expiration dates are not required on all food products in the United States.
