What category is included under 21 CFR parts 500s?

21 CFR parts 500s specifically pertains to drugs intended for animal use. This regulatory framework outlines the policies and requirements for the approval and oversight of veterinary drugs, defining what constitutes safe and effective treatments for animals. This includes guidelines for manufacturing, labeling, and distributing animal drugs, which are essential for ensuring animal health and welfare.

In contrast, the categories of biologics and human drugs fall under different sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Biologics are covered under 21 CFR parts 600-680, which are aimed at products such as vaccines and blood products typically used for human treatment. Meanwhile, human drugs are regulated under 21 CFR parts 200-299, which govern the approval, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceuticals designed for human consumption. Cosmetics also have their specific regulations but are not included in the same category as animal drugs, as these products are covered under different CFR sections relating to their safety and labeling.
