What is Regulatory status?

In short

Regulatory status is the approval, licence or registration a product or company holds with a health authority.

Regulatory status is the approval, permit or registration a product or company holds with a health authority, and it says nothing about whether a product works. Addyi is a prescription medicine approved by the FDA, and Bathmate is an FDA-registered device that also holds TGA and ISO listings. Apotek Hjartat is a licensed pharmacy permitted by the Swedish Medical Products Agency. Alan is a French authorised insurance provider, and Audere Beaute states that no regulatory registration or licence is given.
