Drug Compliance Programs

FDA compliance programs provide guidance and instructions to FDA staff for obtaining information to help fulfill agency plans in the specified program area. These compliance programs neither create or confer any rights for, or on, any person and do not operate to bind FDA or the public. Alternative approaches may be used as long as said approaches satisfy the requirements of applicable statutes and regulations. These programs are intended for FDA personnel but are made available electronically to the public as they become available.

The FDA Compliance Program Manual listing is available at Compliance Program Manual
