Competetition Means Cheaper and Better Drugs
With the cost of prescription drugs on the rise and many people questioning how expensive it is going to be to cure diseases in the future, drug development services around the globe are working to keep the cost of new drugs down? How are they doing this? Drug Development services are in fact, the "sub contractors" in the business of finding new cures for diseases and by competing amongst themselves they insure that drug development costs will be at a minimum.

Drug Development Services And The Roll That They Play In Bringing New Drugs To The Consumer
Through the course of finding and testing a new drug, multitudes of tests and experiments must be ran. Also, mountains of pages of documents must be written, organized and submitted. For a drug company to do all of the work on their own and "in house" it would require an army of employees and research facilities the size of an average small city. Of course, all of the cost of such a massive bureaucratic and research infrastructure would have to passed on to the consumer when they bought the drugs that were produced.
It can take decades to actually find a cure for a disease and in fact there are diseases today, such as cancer, that no cure has yet been found for after billions have been spent in a fruitless search. Even after a cure is found and a drug is discovered, it takes and average of ten years for it to pass safety tests and be approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. So, discovering and testing drugs is a very expensive and time consuming prospect.
