We have all approached the pharmacy at some point looking for a remedy for some ailment, but are we aware of how one of these medicines comes to be for sale? How many drugs have fallen during the long and hard process from the laboratory to the pharmacy? What is the initial seed from which a drug is generated? How do we know that the drug cures? In fact, is a drug the same as a medication? And an active ingredient? Having a drug on the market to treat or cure a disease is a long journey; It can be said that it is almost a long distance obstacle course that requires multiple stages and several years during which an initial molecule develops and evolves until it becomes a medicine. It is also an expensive process: the average cost to successfully research and develop each drug is estimated at one billion euros, compared to the probability that a drug successfully passes all trials, which is less than 12%.
