The Process of Drug Testing and Trials

The video explains the process of drug testing and approval. It begins with preclinical testing in labs to assess toxicity, efficacy, and dosage. Clinical trials follow, starting with low doses on healthy volunteers and progressing to larger patient groups to determine safety and optimal dosage. Once a drug is licensed, it is monitored for unforeseen side effects. Double-blind trials are used to ensure unbiased results by comparing the drug with a placebo.
