Fda-speak

Often thought of as a subdialect of American "governmentese," FDA-Speak is a language unique to healthcare regulators and those they regulate. This revised and updated edition retains the original easy-to-use glossary format, but includes more than three times the number of entries, defining more than 2,500 acronyms and technical/regulatory words. It provides definitive listings for all of the regulatory words, phrases, and acronyms important to development, manufacture, quality control, marketing, import/export, and registration of pharmaceuticals, diagnostic products, medical devices, software, veterinary products, biologics, nutrition and dietary supplements, and bulk chemicals.
