Pharmaceutical law deals with issues arising in the context of the development, analysis, production, and distribution of pharmaceuticals. Questions of pharmaceutical law are closely intertwined with the field of biotechnology, the reason being that today over half of all pharmaceuticals are produced by biotechnological methods.
