The publication, Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the List), identifies drug products approved on the basis of safety and effectiveness by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). Drugs on the market approved only on the basis of safety (covered by the ongoing Drug Efficacy Study Implementation [DESI] review [e.g., Donnatal® Tablets and Librax® Capsules] or pre-1938 drugs [e.g., Phenobarbital Tablets]) are not included in this publication. The main criterion for the inclusion of any product is that the product is the subject of an application with an effective approval that has not been withdrawn for safety or efficacy reasons."

Freevibe.com:"Prescription drugs are medicines that are given to a patient by a doctor to treat a specific health condition. Prescription drugs make complex surgeries possible, relieve pain for millions of people, and enable individuals with certain medical conditions, like diabetes, to control their symptoms. Prescription drugs are not harmful if they are used properly and only under a doctor’s supervision. However, taking prescription drugs without a doctor’s approval and supervision can be a dangerous, even deadly, decision."
