FDA
Also: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Food and Drug Administration
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the federal agency responsible for regulating drugs, biologics, and — through Section 503A of the FD&C Act — pharmacy compounding. FDA evaluates candidate bulk drug substances for compounding eligibility with the advice of the Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC), a separate and less rigorous process than full drug approval.
