People Are Asking: How Does Medicine Get to Our Shelves?

October 11, 2024

We all have medicine in our cabinets at home, but have you ever wondered how it gets from the lab to our shelves? We tapped clinical researcher and oncologist Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky to break it down — and answer some of our other pressing Qs.

We asked her…

  • How does medicine get to our shelves?

  • What is medicine testing (aka a clinical trial)?

  • Why is testing important for new medicines?

  • How can I get involved?

PS: Head here to learn more about clinical trials (or find one near you).
