Talk:Approved drug

See also and Western herbology
I've added a set of links to See also, so as to provide a set of contrasts to the idea Approved drug. I would like to have provided something as well-written as Chinese herbology, but, sadly, Herbalism is not that. -SM 00:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

An NDA is distinct form an drug that has been approved, since an NDA can be rejected. Furthermore, there are multiple classes of drugs that may be approved, just one of which includes the NDA. Refer to the FDA homepage for more details.

I am a medical student and if it hadn't been for this entry, I would not have easily found out what "NDA" meant! It definitely wasn't in my notes as an "approved drug". So, I agree that they are different and for the sake of at least future medical students...I say, keep the entries different!!!

NDA is distict
I agree that an NDA is not the same as an approved drug, but I'm not sure that approved drug should have its own entry. Remember 23:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Other Countries?
How is the approval process managed in other countries? --plauz (talk) 16:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I've added a link to the EMA. This is really no more than a place-marker... Others please weigh in with more info, and stuff on other countries. 82.41.33.2 (talk) 14:01, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
