FDA Formulates Drug Safety Plan

Last month the FDA announced a five-step plan to strengthen the nation's drug safety program:
Sponsor an Institute of Medicine study of the drug safety system.
Implement a program for adjudicating differences of professional opinion.
Appoint a director for the FDA Office of Drug Safety.
Conduct drug safety/risk management consultations.
Publish risk management guidances.
Below are the names and Web sites of the three draft guidances that the FDA issued in May to help pharmaceutical companies identify and assess potential safety risks before and after a drug reaches the market.
