Explanation:
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 a particular biochemical process.

Answer:
The classification of drugs and the reasons for classification are as follows:
(i) On the basis of pharmacological effect:
- This classification provides doctors the whole range of drugs available for the treatment of a particular type of problem.
Hence, such a classification is very useful to doctors.
(ii) On the basis of drug action:
- This classification is based on the action of a drug on a particular biochemical process.
- Thus, this classification is important.
(iii) On the basis of chemical structure:
- This classification provides the range of drugs sharing common structural features and often having similar pharmacological activity.
(iv) On the basis of molecular targets:
- This classification provides medicinal chemists the drugs having the same mechanism of action on targets.
- Hence, it is the most useful to medicinal chemists.
