Pharmaceutical Company Markets and Distributes the Drug to Healthcare Providers

Author(s):

Pharmaceuticals refer to drugs or medications that are designed and manufactured for the purpose of preventing, diagnosing, treating, or managing diseases, medical conditions, and health disorders in humans and animals. The pharmaceutical industry plays a critical role in healthcare, as it develops and produces a wide range of therapeutic agents to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals. This initial stage involves identifying potential drug candidates. Researchers explore various sources, including plants, animals, microbes, and synthetic compounds, to find molecules that may have therapeutic effects. Once promising drug candidates are identified, they undergo extensive laboratory testing and preclinical studies using cells, tissues, and animal models to evaluate their safety, efficacy, and potential side effects
