Sections 201, 502, 505, and 701 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act require that marketed drugs be
safe and effective. In order to know whether drugs that are not
safe and effective are on the market, FDA must be promptly informed
of adverse experiences occasioned by the use of marketed drugs. In
order to help ensure this, FDA issued regulations at 21 CFR 310.305
and 314.80 to impose reporting and recordkeeping requirements on
the drug industry that would enable FDA to take action necessary
for protection of the public health from adverse drug
experiences.
