What guidelines does the FDA provide for toxicological testing?
The FDA issues numerous guidelines to standardize toxicological testing. These guidelines cover aspects such as study design, endpoints, specific tests for different product categories, and data interpretation. The FDA often aligns its guidelines with international standards like the ICH guidelines, which help harmonize drug registration processes globally. Additionally, the FDA encourages the use of alternative methods to reduce animal testing, such as in vitro and in silico models.
