The Fda’S Power Over Non-Therapeutic Uses Of Drugs And Devices, Patricia J. Zettler Jan 2021

The Fda’S Power Over Non-Therapeutic Uses Of Drugs And Devices, Patricia J. Zettler

Washington and Lee Law Review

Although we often—and rightly—think of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as regulating important therapies for patients, the agency also can regulate non-therapeutic uses of drugs and devices. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines drugs and devices as including not only products intended to address disease but also those intended to affect the structure or function of the body, such as cognitive enhancements, wrinkle removers, and recreational drugs. Indeed, if these broad definitions were read literally, many everyday consumer products—such as winter jackets intended to keep wearers’ warm—may be drugs or devices.

“Waiving” Goodbye To Medicaid As We Know It: Modern State Attempts To Transform Medicaid Programs Through Section 1115 Waivers, Chandler Gray

Health Law And Administrative Law: A Marriage Most Convenient, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost Jan 2004

Health Law And Administrative Law: A Marriage Most Convenient, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost

Scholarly Articles

This symposium explores the complex relationship between health law and administrative law. It is based on the observation that these two fields of law are peculiarly intertwined. It attempts to understand why this is so, as well as whether it is necessary and whether it is desirable. Would we as a society, that is, be better off if health law were less permeated by administrative law? Even if we would be better off, is it indeed possible to extricate health law from administrative law? This essay begins by defining health law and administrative law. It then proceeds to describe the …
