Pharmaceuticals are put through tests through national entities like the FDA, and the data from these tests are compiled into statistical resources. Statistics are an important tool to ensure the efficacy and safety of new and developed drugs. This is of acute importance when attempting to determine whether the pharmacological effect of one drug is superior to another, determining what kind of prescription to prescribe to a patient, and identifying areas for new development.
