imported
Biologics are vaccines, derived from living organisms,antitoxins,immunologlobins
Biologics Control Act of 1902 in response to this act was passed because there was a tetanus outbreak among recipients of diphtheria vaccine in other words people were getting vaccinated for diphtheria and developing tetanus because there’s cross-contamination…most of the manufacturing facilities were on farms because most of your vaccines and antitoxins were derived from farm animals and now they were specific farms just made to do this…these manufacturers have to be licensed by treasury department in other words you have federal licensing…they also created a national sanitary board and that who was going to make regulations…Laws and agencies that make the regulations. We didn’t really have that with 2 prior laws…in the national sanitary board is made of surgeon generals of the army,navy and marine…each military branch had a surgeon general…there is no public health service yet..and they would get together to make up the regulations…
Drug Importation Act of 1848, and Biologics Control Act 1902 administered by Department of _______________
Treasury
Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906-muckracking journalism in other words there was a bunch of newspapers and women magazines and wrote about how bad the drug system was in the United States and that they were getting away with all sorts of things and nobody knew what was going on we were at a time where there is no controlled substance law… you know I want to put cocaine in coca cola hey go right ahead and sell it there is no prescription drug law yet
Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906

drug
adulterated
U.S. Pharmacopoeia and National Formulary private agencies that write these reference books; these are not federal government reference books
Pure,Food, and Drug Act of 1906
Looking at all drugs in the United states not just those imported
Established U.S. Pharmacopoeia and National
Formulary as standards for U.S. drugs (not just imported); however, could be less than pure if so labeled. Did not use the U.S. Dispensatory as a standard.
Unfortunately, a U.S. Supreme Court (U.S. v. Johnson,221 U.S. 488 (1911)) opinion and the Sherley Amendment of 1912 hurt the act by requiring that for a label to be misbranding, it must be both false and fraudulent in its claims.
false and fradulent: wrong and intentionally want to do them
Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act of 1914
first attempt about doing something about controlled substances
(No prescription law yet;didn’t need a prescription back then)
Established control over the manufacture, distribution and dispensing of certain addictive substances (e.g., opium, morphine and cocaine) in ________________, primarily through taxation and required labeling.
high concentrations
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 looks at SAFETY!!
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938–>This is the first time we had a law addressing the SAFETY because there was product called sulfonamide a sulfur drug…sulfur drugs are not very soluble in water and they are very hard to make into liquid forms
Sulfonamide doesn’t have alcohol in it…it has diethylene glycol and its in antifreeze…humans have a negative effect of this drug and it will kill someone…if sanitary plant, can prosecute individual board members
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938
Definition of “drug” expanded:
to include affecting body structures even in the absence of disease (prevention)
by addition of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the U.S. as a standard
FDA’s enforcement powers were increased:
seizure (vs. recall) was allowed
plants could be closed
corporate officers could be prosecuted (“piercing the corporate veil”)
created Food,Drug, and Administration (so created FDA)
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938
“Adulteration” was better defined.
Drug labeling requirements became more
strict - misbranded meant claims were false
OR fraudulent.
There was an exemption to the labeling requirements created for products not intended for consumer use. (Only concerned with human use stuff)
