ANDA Pathway

Meaning

The Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) Pathway is a regulatory mechanism in the United States, overseen by the FDA, for the approval of generic drug products. This streamlined application allows manufacturers to demonstrate that their generic formulation is bioequivalent to a previously approved brand-name Reference Listed Drug (RLD). For hormonal therapies, this path facilitates the introduction of cost-effective generic alternatives to established, brand-name hormone replacement medications. This regulatory structure promotes accessibility to essential hormonal treatments while maintaining strict standards for quality and performance.
