AB Drugs  are  substances  intended  for  use  in  the  diagnosis,  cure,  mitigation,  treatment,  or  prevention  of  disease.  Drugs  are  given  in  a  variety  of  dosage  forms  or  drug  products  such  as  solids  (tablets,  capsules),  semisolids  (ointments,  creams),  liquids,  suspensions,  emulsions,  etc,  for  systemic  or  local  therapeutic  activity.  Drug  products  can  be  considered  to  be  drug  delivery  systems  that  release  and  deliver  drug  to  the  site  of  action  such  that  they  produce  the  desired  therapeutic  effect  and  are  also  designed  specifically  to  meet  the  patient's  needs  including  palatability,  convenience,  and  safety.
