Question

What is the need of classification of drugs?

Answer 1

We need to classify drugs in different
ways because different drugs are
effective against the particular micro
organism responsible for the disease.
Drugs can be classified in the
following ways:
(i) on the basis of pharmacological
effect.
(ii) On the basis of action on
particular biochemical process.
(iii) On the basis of chemical
structure.
(iv) On the basis of molecular targets.
