Unapproved New Drugs

Meaning

Unapproved New Drugs refer to pharmaceutical substances that have not undergone the rigorous evaluation processes mandated by regulatory authorities to establish their safety, efficacy, and quality for a specific medical purpose. These compounds lack official authorization for distribution or use, meaning their clinical utility and potential risks remain largely unknown. They exist outside the established framework of drug development and approval, presenting significant challenges for public health oversight.
