    Today, FDA published the FY 2023 Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) Science and Research Report summarizing the scientific progress and research outcomes that support the development and assessment of generic drugs: https://lnkd.in/efVXP2aa GDUFA research provided the scientific foundation for the approval of complex generic drugs, such as medicines used to treat patients with alcohol use disorder and opioid dependence. GDUFA research helps FDA establish new approaches for manufacturers to develop generic drugs that were previously too challenging to develop, which helps make more generic medicines available. Read the report for more information.
