"There are numerous alternative drug testing methods that are more accurate than animal tests."
Welcome
The Mandatory Alternatives Petition seeks to change the way drug testing is done in laboratories before drugs are tested on people. The MAP asks the U.S. FDA to mandate the use of scientifically proven drug testing methods that replace the use of animals.
The coalition members and the physicians, scientists, and other experts who have signed the Mandatory Alternatives Petition believe it is a necessary step because there has been little progress in the U.S. toward the adoption of scientifically proven methods that give better results and replace the use of animals for drug testing.
