§ 111240 Poisonous Substance Drug Regulation

• •You can't add bad stuff (like poison or harmful colors) to medicine or medical tools.
• •If you want to add something to medicine or medical tools, the government has to say it's okay first.
• •The government makes special rules to say what can be added and how to use it safely.

A company wants to make a bright red cough syrup for kids.

They can't just add any red color they want. They have to check if the government says that red color is safe for medicine. If the government hasn't approved it, they can't use it.
