The agency that decides whether a drug is safe to use on humans or not is the FDA, or Food and Medicine Administration. Pharmaceuticals are continuously inspected by the FDA. The FDA has the authority to revoke the authorization to market a drug after receiving reports of any complaints made after or during the use of a drug. They review the complete testing and packaging process before issuing a license for sale.
To advertise over-the-counter medications, pharmaceutical companies use websites and other media. The ingredients, uses, probable side effects, and expenses of the drug are all fully described in websites.
