Extract

All drug evaluation and regulation policy in the Federal Republic of Germany is based on the Drug Law of 1976. In accordance with the pharmaceutical directives of the European Community, this law provided that all drug products must be of good pharmaceutic quality, therapeutically effective, and safe according to the current state of knowledge. It is aimed at guaranteeing safety in the use of drugs without hindering the plurality of thought in medical science.
