Guidance Documents
Guidance documents represent the Agency's current thinking on a particular
subject. They do not create or confer any rights for or on any person and do not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such
approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute, regulations, or
both. For information on a specific guidance document, please contact the
originating office.
Another method of obtaining guidance
documents is through the Division of
Drug Information.
FDA's move to the White Oak Campus means that names, addresses, and phone numbers listed in Agency guidances may no longer be accurate. If you need to speak to someone, contact the office or division that developed a guidance (see footnote 1 in guidances) or contact CDER's Division of
Drug Information.
Newly Added
Guidance Documents Guidance Documents will be
retained in this section of the page for a period of three months. The most

they were issued.
* Note: Draft guidances are undergoing
finalization. Please contact the relevant division for the most up-to-date
Agency perspective on an issue. For information on how to electronically submit
a comment on a draft guidance, please see
