Why would a veterinary technician need or want a clear understanding of the historical development and current practices of drug development and usage?

What will be an ideal response?


Understanding the historical development of drug development helps veterinary professionals have confidence in dispensing and recommending drugs, allows veterinary professionals to stay informed of drug safety with the continual monitoring and reporting of adverse drug reactions, and provides the knowledge of what is and

is not investigated as far as drug safety is concerned (e.g., reproductive effects). It helps the veterinary professional explain why we may still see adverse effects when administering FDA-approved drugs and identify the difference between an acceptable side effect versus a response that is contraindicated.
