Assignment Paper

The process of reviewing new medications to ensure they are safe and effective makes use of many epidemiological methods. The Food and Drug Administration is involved heavily in this regulation and is required to ensure rigorous testing is done before medications are released to the general public. For the first part of this assignment, review the following website, which details the FDA process: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/HowDrugsareDevelopedandApproved/default.htm (Links to an external site.) Next, watch television or listen to the radio and write down the names of two new medications being advertised. Research these medications and complete the chart below on their development. When filling out the chart, use complete sentences; each box should contain at least one full paragraph of information. You must include support from the required readings, as well as at least one outside source. Use the WCU Library to find scholarly sources that support your paper.
