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.

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

No, not all food products require FDA approval before they can be sold. While the FDA regulates certain categories of food, such as dietary supplements and food additives, most foods do not need pre-market approval. However, food manufacturers must comply with labeling and safety regulations set by the FDA to ensure that their products are safe for consumption. Certain foods or ingredients, like those that are considered "new" or have not been widely used, may require additional scrutiny.

Electronic cigarettes are not currently approved by the FDA. Last year the FDA announced that they had concerns as the the safety of electronic cigarettes claiming that they contained toxic chemicals. Recently the American Medical Association recommended that the FDA ought to regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way as they would other controlled substances, so far the FDA has not responded to this recommendation. Bear in mind the power of the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries here and their interests. Making a product like this widespread would constitute a substantial loss in tobacco and nicotine replacement therapy revenues. So far clinical trials have not been conducted as to the safety of electronic cigarettes but this is a moot point considering how harmful the product they seek to replace is (regular cigarettes). In fact Cancer Research UK has come out and stated that whatever the risks, they are nowhere near the risks associated with tobacco smoking. Do your research if you are in the market for an e-cig, you'll have far more trouble finding the right product for you than you will have troubles with your health. Read the customer reviews online and see for yourselves just how many people have been able to quit smoking as a result of using electronic cigarettes.

Perry Mason lost The Case of the Terrified Typist" but, of course, in the end he did find the solution to the murder case He also lost in "The Case of the Deadly Verdict". That episode begins with Perry Mason trying to find a clue in order to solve the case that he lost. He is sure that something is missing and finally he solves the mystery.

Macafem's production has been certified with ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management, SQF 2000 & HACCP Safe Quality Foods, SGS GMP Good Manufacturing and since Macafem is an herbal supplement, it doesn't require FDA approval.

"1990 Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA)is passed. It requires all packaged foods to bear nutrition labeling and all health claims for foods to be consistent with terms defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. As a concession to food manufacturers, the FDA authorizes some health claims for foods. The food ingredient panel, serving sizes, and terms such as "low fat" and "light" are standardized. This is pretty much the nutrition label as we know it today."

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was established by President Richard Nixon through an Executive Order in July of 1973.

FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.

Yes there are a few supplements that are FDA approved, however there are several types of steroids that are not approved, and the companies have received warnings from the FDA about the possible side effects from using them.

it stands for "drug" as in medicines....Food & Drug Administration

Dr. Suzette H. Lazo took office as Acting Director (director general) in December 2010.

There are many different techniques that have been described as "cloning".

* animal cloning: The FDA has tested cattle, swine, and goat clones, and in 2008 found that "food derived from these sources is no different from food derived from conventionally bred animals". (See links). This ends the 2001 moratorium.

* vegetative reproduction occurs naturally in some plants, and people have used it for hundreds of years to propagate a variety of plants. For example, most cultivated bananas lack seeds and so most cultivated banana trees are clones. Such propagation has always been approved by the FDA.

* "molecular cloning", "DNA cloning", typically using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), is a standard part of DNA profiling used to identify a person (forensic testing) or close relationships (paternity testing).

* therapeutic human cloning: illegal in some countries and some of the United States.

* reproductive human cloning: illegal in many countries and most of the United States.

The FDA can withdraw vitamins (and other supplements and foods) only when danger has been proven. What you're likely thinking of is the way the FDA regulates drugs. The difference can be subtle: a claim to cure a specific disease or treat a certain condition makes something a drug instead of a supplement. For example, if your pill says it will "improve heart function," it's considered a supplement, but if it says "improve hypertension," it's considered a drug. DRUGs are highly regulated by the FDA and often take years, 100's of millions of dollars in trials to prove safety and efficacy, and literally truckloads of paperwork. You or I could sell a SUPPLEMENT we made in our garage tomorrow and the FDA would have no legal power to regulate us. As I see it.

UPDATE:

FDA's attitude towards and regulations covering dietary supplements have changed in recent years. They definitely do regulate dietary supplements [DS] and one can look up many Warning Letters to DS firms. Check out "21 CFR 111" for the current regulations. Some of the requirements treat DS more like drugs, although they come under CFSAN (Center for Food Safety and Nutrition).

Do not try making DS in your garage. FDA has the authority to shut you down.

It would depend on what you want to sue them for. If there was a product which had damaged you despite being "FDA approved", you end up suing the company which produced the harmful substance because to gain FDA approval, the company must send in their own research (like the result from animal and human clinical tests using their product). Thus if they send in false information about their product, and it gains FDA approval, but ends up being extremely detrimental to your health, it is the fault of the company for submitting false information to the FDA. However, there was a case where the FDA was sued for failing to regulate Bisphenol-A (which was pretty much found in everything but was extremely bad for the human body, especially children). Anyways to answer your question as to whether or not you can sue the FDA, the answer is that while possible, it would be highly difficult thanks to Sovereign Immunity, which means the government entity can't be sued unless the government gives permission for you to do so.

The FDA is an agency of the Dept. of Health and Human Health Services. It is one of the U.S. Federal Executive Departments. The FDA is led by a Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and is appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and "over the counter" medications, vaccines, bio-pharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics.
