 Guidance documents represent the Agency's current thinking on a particular subject. They do not create or confer any rights for or on any person and do not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes, regulations, or both. For information on a specific guidance document, please contact the originating office (see footnote 1 in recent guidances), or contact the Division of Drug Information in the Office of Training and Communications.
