Question

why do we classify drugs in different way

Answer 1

hi
drugs are chemicals that can alter the way the body works.
There are different types of drugs, and these have different effects on the body.
Tobacco and alcohol are legal recreational drugs which have potentially serious effects on the body. Illegal drugs are classified on a scale from Class A - the most dangerous - to Class C - the least dangerous

Answer 2

Hey !!

Various methods of classification of drugs and the usefulness of such classification are as follows :-

• Classification on the basis of pharmacological effect is useful for doctors because it provides them the whole range of drugs available for the treatment of a particular type of problem.
• Classification on the basis of drug action on a particular biochemical process is useful for choosing the correct lead compound for designing the synthesis of a desired drug.
• Classification on the basis of molecular targets is useful for medicinal chemists so that they can design a drug is most effective for a particular receptor site.
• Classification on the basis of chemical structure help us to design the synthesis of a number of structurally similar compounds having different substituents and then choosing the drug having the least toxicity.
