How are pharmaceutical companies regulated:
The fda tests any drug in the laboratory that is waiting approval to sell the new drug. They test the drugs on animals first before humans. If the drug has little bad effects to animals, the drug will be tested for humans to try. If the drug is safe for human consumption the drug will go through multiple lab trials. They are also yearly checks of the pharmacies if there's any illegal activity going on. The inspections are usually random so the pharmacies and drug producers won't have any time to hide any illegal drugs and illegal activity. If they are caught doing anything illegal the pharmacy or producer of the drugs will most likely get shut down and sometimes people that committed the crimes will get arrested.
