Functions of the Drug Administration

I was going to copy the official functions of the FDA from its website, but I thought I'd summarize them for you.

The official website of the National Bureau of Pharmaceutical Control.

The functions of the Food and Drug Administration are simply three: 1, in charge of drugs and medical devices, including manufacturers, distribution companies, the use of units (hospitals) all-round supervision. 2, the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the supervision and control of drugs and medical devices, including manufacturers, distribution companies, the use of units (hospitals).

2, comprehensive supervision of food. As the government's hand, to play a coordinating role between the health industry and commerce quality supervision, without the actual enforcement of the right.

3, the approval of health food

Since the national institutional reform, there are different places. Simply put

1, Beijing Bureau and Guangdong Bureau also in charge of health care products and cosmetics

2, Shanghai Bureau is currently the most powerful in the national DA, in addition to the drugs, medical devices supervised by the Drug Administration in all parts of the country, Beijing and Guangdong Bureau of health care products and cosmetics supervised by the Food and Drug Administration also has specific enforcement powers.

4, Shaanxi's health products, health food in Zhejiang to the Drug Administration in charge.

5, not mentioned in the province of drug supervision and the functions of the National Bureau of the same.

The need for special mention:

1, drugs and health products and medical equipment advertising does not belong to the Drug Administration, but to the jurisdiction of industry and commerce. Pharmacovigilance only advertising approval, but if the publicity, false publicity, only industry and commerce have the right to penalize.

2, the price of drugs under the management of the price department.

3, part of the health care products to health management.
