Every day, Americans rely on FDA-regulated products—from toothpaste and contact lenses to food and life-saving medicines. FDA promotes and protects the public health by helping safe and effective products reach the market in a timely way, and by monitoring products for continued safety after they are in use. The agency regulates animal and veterinary products, drugs, medical devices, products that emit radiation, food, cosmetics, and vaccines and other biologics.
