We Need Drugs-- Better Drugs Now.

A question arises in the readers mind that what are drugs. The simplest answer to this question is "It is a molecule consisting of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur and few other atoms combined in a specific way in a particular geometry to lock up a certain pathological phenomenon." The subject here is we  need drugs=, but why.???

Almost more than 100z and 1000z of diseases are known to man since its origin, but you will be surprised to know that only 4000 diseases are know to mankind with exact molecular mechanisms. Moreover, another scary fact is that just 250 diseases with appropriate treatment are known to us. There is a long leap to make. The future thus belongs to two basic fields, genetics and molecular sciences. So that more and more molecular mechanisms can be validated and drugs against them can be made.
Apart from it, there is another tragedy going on in the society, specifically in the third world countries, i.e., Irrational approach to use the drugs. Prescribers are using broad spectrum antibiotics against even minor diseases, resulting in the formation of resistant strains of microbes, causing millions of deaths per annum. They do not even give a second thought to it while playing with the life of a patient. What if such a strain is produced, which can defeat all the known antibiotics, even the broadest spectrum ones ????

THINK!!!!
Follow Rational Approach--Consult Pharmacologists.
