CNS Safety
Why CNS safety pharmacology?
Find the effects of a drug on the central nervous system early, before they become costly setbacks in the clinic.
About CNS Safety
Safety pharmacology is a critical component of drug discovery: it identifies potential side effects on the central nervous system early in development, so that adjustments can be made before clinical trials, avoiding costly and time-consuming setbacks.
Evaluating CNS safety is essential for safe and effective drugs, and the FDA and other regulators require it for approval. Drug development teams should build it into discovery from the start.
