Lepton
Which body/organisation was responsible for giving the go-ahead to drug companies for a new drug in the UK back in 1998?

Which body is responsible now?

And what is the criteria for a new drug being allowed on the market?

I'm particularly interested in fluoxetine

The Medicines Control Agency (MCA) and the Medical Devices Agency (MDA) were merged into the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on 1 April, 2003. It was probably the MCA who approved drugs in 1998, operating as an agency of the Department of Health.
When people fight to keep something as basic to human survival as healthcare a privilege, but insist the right to bear arms inviolate, we cease to move forward as a society. -- zapatos
