Abstract:

The viewpoints of pharmaceutical industry leaders on the future research and development of the next generation of drugs are presented. It was noted that massive investments in research and development by drug manufacturers, paired with a more agile and responsive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should keep the prescription drug market humming in 1998. Promising new drug therapies to fight acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), migraines, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, obesity, and osteoporosis are discussed.
