What Does ANADA Stand For?

ANADA stands for Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application

ANADA, or Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application, is a regulatory submission process established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approving veterinary drugs that are similar to already approved products. This streamlined application allows for a more efficient review by utilizing existing data on the drug's safety and effectiveness, which helps to expedite the availability of new treatments for animals while ensuring regulatory compliance. ANADA is primarily used for generic animal drugs, allowing veterinarians and pet owners access to safe and effective alternatives in the marketplace.
