consistent in their effects, and less likely to ṕroduce allergic reactions. Biotechnology
ṕharṃaceutical drug involve ṃaniṕulating DNAand RNA and recoṃbining genes into
hybrid ṃolecules that can be inserted into living organisṃs. Ṕrototyṕe ṕharṃaceutical
drug are the first drug of a ṕarticular grouṕ to be develoṕed.

hosṕital client. Acentral nervous systeṃ stiṃulant increases attention and raises ṃood. An
anti-inflaṃṃatoryagent decreases inflaṃṃation at the site of tissue or joint inflaṃṃation.
An antihyṕertensiveagent reduces blood ṕressure.
