How can I find out about drugs that are currently under review by the HHS Food Drug and Administration (FDA)?

Answer:

Due to confidentiality rules, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is prohibited from releasing information on any drug under development, review or pending approval unless the information has been made public. You may contact the manufacturer directly to ask about products under development.

Another possible source of information is the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

FDA does provide information about the following subjects related to drugs:

• Approved Drugs
• Generic Drugs
• Prescription Drugs and Over-the Counter (OTC) Drugs
• Dietary Supplements
• Side Effects
• Treatments for Medical Problems
