Infection & Response: Developing New Drugs 💊 GCSE Biology Learning & Revision
Manage episode 473110707 series 3139280
This episode will discuss the development of new drugs.
Modern medicine relies on the development of drugs to combat diseases and alleviate suffering.
The episode highlights three key categories of drugs currently being developed: antibiotics to counter resistant bacteria, antiviral drugs to treat viral infections while minimising harm to the body, and painkillers to manage pain associated with infections.
Antibiotics directly target bacteria, while antivirals aim to inhibit viral replication within cells. Painkillers such as Aspirin, however, do not cure diseases but instead focus on providing symptomatic relief by reducing pain. This makes them essential for improving patient comfort and quality of life during illness.
Drug development is, therefore, a continuous process focused on addressing diverse medical needs.
