lääkevirastojen
Lääkevirastot, often translated as drug agencies or medicine agencies, are governmental bodies responsible for the regulation and oversight of medicinal products within a specific jurisdiction. Their primary role is to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs available to the public.

These applications contain extensive data from preclinical and clinical trials demonstrating the drug's intended effects and potential risks.
