Abstract:
The pharmaceutical industry continuously introduces novel compounds for therapeutic purposes. However, ensuring the safety and efficacy of these pharmaceuticals is paramount. This research paper delves into the realm of toxicology and safety assessment, examining the methodologies and approaches employed to evaluate the potential risks associated with pharmaceutical compounds. Through comprehensive literature review and analysis, this paper discusses various aspects such as preclinical testing, clinical trials, regulatory requirements, and post-marketing surveillance in the context of pharmaceutical safety assessment. Furthermore, it explores the utilization of advanced technologies and methodologies, including computational modeling and in vitro assays, to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of safety evaluations. By addressing these critical components, this paper contributes to the understanding of toxicological principles and safety assessment strategies in pharmaceutical research and development, ultimately aiming to improve public health outcomes and minimize adverse effects associated with pharmaceutical use.
