Merry Drugmas!

4 FDA Approvals in 1 Day!

It seems there were a few reviewers at the Food and Drug Administration looking to clear paperwork off their desks before leaving on Christmas vacations. The agency issued approvals for four drug applications on Friday. Well, four approvals in one day can't be bad news. There are some signs that the agency might be a little more lax with what's need for approval. And at the very least, the approvals signal that the FDA is interested in meeting or exceeding the goals it sets for making decisions about marketing applications.

4 approvals just in ONE DAY is not bad! Well, next year FDA will have approximately 250 working days. If FDA continues with such tempo (4 approvals/day) we will see about 1000 new drug approvals! Let's just wish a good luck to FDA!
