Question

why do we need to classify drugs in different ways?

Answer 1

Hi dear here is ur answer ✌✌

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.
(iii) On the basis of chemical structure.
(iv) On the basis of molecular targets.


i hope it helps u buddy ✌✌

Answer 2

This classification is based on the action of a drug on a particular biochemical process. Thus, this classification is important.

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.

This classification provides the range of drugs sharing common structural features and often having similar pharmacological activity.

This classification provides medicinal chemists the drugs having the same mechanism of action on targets. Hence, it is the most useful to medicinal chemists.

hope this helps have a nice day
