How are Drugs Tested for Safety?

The drug development process includes several phases, starting with preclinical testing on animals and moving to clinical trials on humans. These trials are divided into three phases:
- Phase I: Tests for safety and dosage on a small group of healthy volunteers.
- Phase II: Explores efficacy and side effects on a larger group of patients.
- Phase III: Confirms effectiveness, monitors side effects, and compares the drug to commonly used treatments in a larger patient population.
