Federal Legislation Related to Drugs • Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 • Earliest regulation included many loopholes and lack of enforcement abilities. • Drugs found in interstate commerce could not be labeled as curative if the claims were false and mis- leading, but advertisement by word of mouth or printed materials was not covered. • The USP and the NF were created as the compendia containing the official standards for strength and purity during manufacturing, including a label showing the eleven specific dangerous chemicals present that may cause drug addiction.
