| FDA Launches New Web Site | |
|
Visitors to the new, improved Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Web site will find critical recall and consumer safety alerts now located right up front where they belong.
Based on months of feedback from its core audience -- consumers, doctors, and the health care industry -- the FDA designed the new site to place more of the most important and popular information front and center on the home page. (www.fda.gov)
One of the biggest changes is the display on the home page of current FDA news items. Reports of safety alerts and product recalls are included and updated regularly.
Another high profile job of the FDA, approval of new drugs and medical devices, has also found a spot on the home page.
The
new site also features an archive of FDA press releases and other
news items dating back to 1992.
Also featured on the new FDA Web site: The site also enables users to report problems with products regulated by FDA
and to comment on proposed
regulations. The FDA also invites visitors to complete this Online
User Survey.
