Answer: Research & Development
⩥ This includes supply chain, manufacturing, trade, and distribution
functions of the business.
Answer: Manufacturing & Operations
⩥ Basic clinical pharmacology involves 3 main concepts
Answer: Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, drug distribution and
elimination.
⩥ Drug distribution & elimination
Answer: Drug delivery systems, route of administration , modes of
excretion.
⩥ Proteins
Answer: A nutrient made up of of chains of amino acids
,⩥ Fats
Answer: A nutrient stored in special body tissues as a great source of
reserve energy
⩥ Carbohydrates
Answer: A nutrient that is the body's immediate source of energy. It's

Answer: How the active part of a drug is metabolized into a more water-
soluble compound that can be readily excreted by the kidneys
⩥ Excretion
Answer: How the drug is eliminated from the body. Usually drugs are
eliminated via urine. They can also be excreted through the lungs, skin,
or breast milk.
⩥ Bioavailability
Answer: how quickly and how much of a drug reaches its intended

⩥ Therapeutic equivalence
Answer: Production of the same medicinal effect
