CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS
Add/Supplement endogenous compounds which are insufficient/lacking/absent
Replenishers
CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS
Drugs that are used to confirm diagnosis of certain diseases
Diagnostic Agents
CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS
Agents used to kill or inhibit growth cells considered as foreign to the body
Chemotherapeutic Agents
▪️Biologic site of action, “action site” or “active site”
▪️Targets a physiologic action
▪️Ex. Structural & Regulatory Proteins
Target Protein Mediated
Basic unit of the structural protein
