La FDA aprueba un medicamento genérico

Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con quien dijo que en España se utiliza medicamento genético y principio activo (aunque ahora se recomienda más utilizar sustancia activa). Sin embargo no me gusta la traducción de la frase en pasivo ni tampoco el "ya que", no me parece que el sentido de la frase sea el correcto, porque para que se paruebe un genérico no basta con que posea el mismo p.a. Como no tenemos toda la frase es difícil adivinar, pero yo diría, con lo poco que tenemos:

La FDA aprueba un medicamento genérico cuando contiene el mismo principio activo (o sustancia activa)............

Explanation:
medicamento (si la traducción está destinada a España) y no recomendaría el uso del "en cuanto a que". Asimismo la forma activa es mas recomendable que la pasiva. De todos modos para encontrar la traducción "perfecta"sería necesario más contexto.
