What is the difference between drugs and pharmaceuticals?

Posted by kmjamal | Alternative Medicines | Tuesday 29 September 2009 6:49 pm

I was going through my version of Industry Analysis. I saw that there was a section witht the title ‘Drugs & Pharmaceuticals’. When I was going through the website of Ranbaxy, I found that it had made mention on only Pharmaceuticals. Is there a difference between Drugs & Pharmaceuticals when it comes to R&D, Manufacturing and Distribution? Is there a difference in the composition? I went through the wilipedia website and there seems to be no difference.

    Drugs are substances that cause a physical or mental change in your body. If they are used therapeutically, they get classed as pharmaceuticals.
