The number of times we’ve turned to a medication to relieve our pain or cure our sickness is uncountable. We’ve been searching for ways to restore our health for ages, but today, modern drug development involves jumping through many hoops before a drug can come out the other end and be made available for public use. In this episode, we go from beginning to end of the process of discovering, making, testing and distributing a drug made for the market. We talk about research and development, clinical trials and pharmaceutical dispensing of a drug. Along the way, we talk about women, both the ones present and the ones we don’t see enough of, discussing the impact this has on women’s health and the success of a drug!
