Investigational drugs
Investigational drugs are medications that are still being studied and have not yet been approved for general use. They are tested through clinical trials to assess their safety, effectiveness, and side effects before they can be widely available. These drugs are often developed for serious or life-threatening conditions where existing treatments may not be effective. Participating in trials allows patients access to new therapies, and healthcare providers gather vital information to determine if the drug should be approved and made accessible to everyone.
