What Does INAD Stand For?

INAD stands for Investigational New Animal Drug

INAD, or Investigational New Animal Drug, is a regulatory designation provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that allows for the investigational use of a new drug in animals. This designation is essential for the development and testing of new veterinary therapeutics, enabling researchers to gather safety and efficacy data before seeking approval for commercial use. The INAD process facilitates regulatory oversight while promoting innovation in animal health care.
