FDA
U.S. Food and Drug Administration — The U.S. regulator that approves drugs, medical devices, and food safety.
Coverage of FDA is rising : 40 signals on the latest tracked day, up 21% from its three-week baseline of 33, across 15 domains (up from 11 a week ago). That makes it the #57 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
If FDA matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
