The Drug Development Process: 8 Steps From the Laboratory to the Pharmacy Shelves

TECH & INNOVATION 06.22.2020 20:07 PM

Would you believe that every year only a small fraction of the total number of drugs that undergo clinical studies get approved? In fact, according to a recent report published on Medicine.net on drug development in the USA, it was revealed that for every 5,000 preclinical drugs reviewed, only five get tested on humans. And of these five, only one is likely going to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). What this means is that those drugs we find on pharmacy shelves are just a small fraction of the actual number of drugs that could have been in existence. But since lots of drugs fail the series of tests and trials they're put through, we only get to see a few on our medicine cabinet. Consequently, those few that manage to see the light of the day come for huge prices. So for those of us who’re still wondering why some drugs are so pricey, I guess that explains why. But what exactly qualifies a drug for approval? You may wonder! Well, the answer to that is what we aim to divulge within the context of this post.
