The FDA of the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services regulates the testing,manufacturing,and sale of all medications.This agency also monitors the safety and effectiveness of medications available to consumers.This process helps to ensure that ineffective or unsafe drugs are not marketed or are recalled,if later found unsafe.However,many medicinal products are not regulated by the FDA.For example,herbal remedies and some naturopathic supplements are considered "food products" and are not regulated,even though they are advertised as having health benefits.The management of controlled substances is under the auspices of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
