Explanation
To gain approval, a drug company must provide evidence that the drug is effective for its indicated condition and sufficiently safe for patients when used as intended. It must also show that the drug can be manufactured consistently so each batch meets quality standards. The drug does not have to be the most effective treatment available, nor must it be manufacturable by generic companies.
