Question

Answer 1

Pharmacist.  They bottle the drugs.  Pharmaceutical reasearchers discover the drugs.  Pharmaceutical Companies pay the reasearchers to make the drugs, then make billions of dollars selling the drugs to Pharmacists, who in turn bottle the drugs to sell to you.  And before you hate the pharmaceutical Companies, they take those profits and sink them into Pharmaceutical research to invent new drugs.

Answer 2

A drug dealer.

Answer 3

Pharmacologist

Answer 8

Medicines are made by a large group of people.

Before any medicine is made available, it undergoes  a research phase, in which a "cure" or vaccine is researched for a particular illness. Then a testing phase, in which effectiveness is evaluated and also compared to a placebo test; and later the production phase. After production, a group of experts monitor reactions to the medicine as well.

You could probably imagine, but in all of those phases of the making of a medicine there are doctors, biologists, cytologists, chemistry mayors, pharmacologist, and many other.

For gene therapy, add genetic engineers to the list, as well as a long list of professionals who manipulate the genes in a variety of ways.

For nuclear medicine, ad a couple of physicists as well as some very-well-trained tech personnel.

Some people in Britain call Pharmacists "Chemists", since Pharmacists were required to study Pharmaceutical Chemistry in the past, however, they are "Pharmaceutical Chemists" and not Chemistry Mayors. The role of Pharmacists in each country varies widely, from "medicine dispensing" at the pharmacy, to monitoring the evolution of the patient. They play a larger or smaller role in society, but it is always an important role. Pharmacists do not, however, make medicine.*

* In some countries they may mix components that had been already manufactured and package for later mixing, but this is not considered "making medicine"

Answer 9

careful, pharmacists sell medications behind the counter. Pharmacologists are the people who are certified in the science that studies and produces knowledge about medications.

Thus, if you want to produce medications, study pharmacology.
