- drug trials
- drugs are first tested in a lab
- new drugs are often developed using human cells that are grown in the lab
- means you can measure the effect the drug has on real human cells
- you can not create the whole organism // system
- can not be 100% sure
- drugs must be tested on 2 live species of mammal
- rats & monkeys
- this way potentially harmful substances are usually weeded out before given to human volunteers
- mammal systems are similar to those of a human
- new drugs are often developed using human cells that are grown in the lab
- drugs are then tested on humans in clinical trials

- mammal systems are similar to those of a human
- new drugs are often developed using human cells that are grown in the lab
- if the lab does not pick up anything that could limit how useful the drug can be then it will go on to be tested oon HUMAN VOLUNTEERS
- these are called clinical trials
- first the drug is tested for safety on healthy volunteers
- to make sure it has no harmful side effects when the body is working normally.
- sick people are more vunlerable to the damage
- if the results on healthy volunteers are good
- drugs are then tested on people suffering from the illness
- tests are for safety and effectiveness
- drugs are then tested on people suffering from the illness
- to make sure it has no harmful side effects when the body is working normally.

- placebos are often used
