A National Regulatory Authority (NRA) is a sovereign governmental agency responsible for the rigorous oversight, approval, and enforcement of regulations pertaining to the safety, efficacy, and quality of all pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and health-related biologics within a defined country. In the domain of hormonal health, the NRA determines which hormone therapies and peptides are legally authorized for use, specifies their approved clinical indications, and sets the stringent standards for their manufacturing and prescribing.
