Regulation of therapeutic goods

Regulation of therapeutic goods is when governments make rules about products that can be sold to people to help them feel better or healthier. These products may be medicines, vitamins, or herbal treatments. The government makes sure these products are safe for people to use. To make sure these products are safe, the government requires companies that make products for therapeutic use to do tests on them to make sure they work properly and that they won't cause any harm. The government may also look at the ingredients in the product to make sure the product is not made of anything dangerous or harmful.
