OBS

La FDA es responsable de: Proteger la salud pública mediante la regulación de los medicamentos de uso humano y veterinario, vacunas y otros productos biológicos, dispositivos médicos, el abastecimiento de alimentos en nuestro país, los cosméticos, los suplementos dietéticos y los productos que emiten radiaciones. Favorecer la salud pública mediante el fomento de las innovaciones de productos. Proveer al público la información necesaria, exacta, con base científica, que le permita utilizar medicamentos y alimentos para mejorar su salud. Las responsabilidades de la FDA se extienden a los 50 estados de Estados Unidos, el Distrito de Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guama, las Islas Vírgenes, Samoa Americana y otros territorios y posesiones de Estados Unidos.

OBS

La denominación Administración de Medicamentos y Alimentos es la aconsejada para aludir en español a la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) de los Estados Unidos. [...] El propio Gobierno estadounidense ha creado nombres hispanizados de sus agencias y departamentos, y la adaptación Administración de Medicamentos y Alimentos es la usada por esta entidad encargada, entre otras cosas, de proteger la salud pública mediante la regulación de los medicamentos y el abastecimiento de los alimentos, así como de proveer información precisa a este respecto. Es preferible, por tanto, usar esta denominación que la inglesa Food and Drug Administration. Si, no obstante, se añade como información de referencia aclaratoria la sigla FDA, esta se conserva en su forma original por hallarse ya asentada. [FDA, por sus siglas en inglés]
