FDA Approved Drugs in 2020

There were 53 FDA approved drugs in 2020.

These range from the ever-menacing COVID-19 to more obscure and rare diseases – such as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome; a condition characterized by the rapid onset of the appearance of aging in childhood.

Below we have put together the complete list of FDA drug approvals in 2020. Take some time to learn more about each drug and the condition with which it is now licensed to treat. As new medicines, there is still a lot to learn – particularly when it comes to adverse effects and drug interactions. Aspects of individual mechanisms may also be as-yet uncertain. And that is normal; it is part of the long and arduous – but nevertheless rewarding – process of drug development.

Unlike many others who failed to receive approval, these 53 medicines have come through a complex regimen of tests and regulatory barriers – demonstrating their clinical efficacy, pharmacology, and utility; as well as value in the treatment of both common and rare diseases. Many of these drugs may also become the first of what will become an established drug class.

So, with these factors in mind, let’s now take a few minutes to review all fifty-three of the FDA approved drugs in 2020.
