's about rules of governing and is a concept in governance. It aims to
jpfluence behavior and standards are developed to clarify what practices or goals someone
desire or aims to achieve. In the field of public policy, regulation refers to the promulgation
tof targeted rules, typically accompanied by some authoritative mechanism for monitoring
tnd enforcing compliance. Regulatory policy is about achieving the government's objectives
through the use of regulations, laws, and other instruments to deliver better economic anc
focal outcomes and thus enhance the lives of citizens and businesses. Regulatory policy is
formulated by govermments to impose controls and restrictions on certain specific activities
‘or behavior. Drug regulation is almost universal inthe world. I is based on the premise that
fegulation is needed to ensure that new drugs will be safe and effective, labeled accurately,
and marketed responsibly. The control by the society for the use of medicines and those
wwno dispense and presctibe them isa very old concept whereas the concept that drugs and
the pharmaceutical industry should be regulated isa relatively recent development.
Drug regulation in the United States, as in Europe, has evolved gradually since the
dramatic changes of the early 1960s, There have been no major legislative changes in dug
regulation in the USA since 1962, bt a variety of administrative decisions have significantly
‘modified regulations, A goal of public policy on drugs is to minimize risks; itis an accepted
fact that the use of medications must involve certain risks. Not all risks can be eliminated
through careful manufacturing, rigorous clinical testing, and wise prescribing. The dream of
lifesaving drugs that possess no significant human toxicity is no longer considered realistic

The first edition of the CFR was published in 1938 that included all finalized
regulations that were published in the Federal Register from March 14, 1936, to June 1, 1938,
A sixcmember Codification Board was established to determine the precise structure of the
new CFR. A majority of the 50 titles to the CFR have alphabetically arranged in subject
‘categories and title numbers. Supplements to the first edition ofthe CFR were published for
the period beginning on June 1, 1938, to the end of 1938 (in 1 volume), and for the years
41939 (in'2 volumes, 1940 (in 4 volumes), and 1941 (in 4 volumes). There was no 1942
supplement due to war efforts. The new CFR edition that was supposed to come out in 1943
was replaced with a cumulative supplement (in 10 volumes) that covered regulations that
‘afe stil in force and published in the Federal Register from June 2, 1938 to June 2, 1943.
‘Thus, this publication was an adjunct to the original 1938 edition, and not a replacement.
Supplements were ‘again published for the period to the end of 1943 (in 2 volumes)
for 1944 (in 3 volumes) for 1945 (in 4 volumes), for 1946 (in 6 volumes) and for 1947
fin 5 volumes). A supplement was not published for 1948, because preparations wee being
