Why Pharmacology And Medications Are Not An Exact Science And Addressing Side Effects
Pharmacology companies are constantly striving to create new medications. There is just one teensy problem — it is not an exact science. The companies have to go through rigorous tests and testing phases to get approval from the FDA, and it takes years to get a medication on the market. Even after several clinical trials to make sure a medication is safe for the population, there is always the chance that a fraction of the global population will have an adverse reaction, either because of their brain or body chemistry, or because of a drug interaction not detected in clinical trials.
