Pharmaceutical Industry Summary
The pharmaceutical industry has very humble beginnings with folk remedies and treatments that were more miss than hit. As both doctors and medicine improved with the 17th-century scientific revolution, guesswork was replaced with scientific experimentation and rationalism. By the 18th-century, the industrial revolution made goods readily available to the general public, and the pharmaceutical industry leaped forward. Many of the formulas developed at that time are still in use and inventoried by the pharmaceutical product supplier Bell Chem.
The first pharmaceutical giant in the United States, Pfizer, was founded in 1849. Pfizer became highly successful during the Civil War with a sharp increase in the demand for antiseptic products and pain relief medicines. Aspirin, created from the bark of a willow tree, hit the market in the 1900s, although “pharmaceuticals” also tended to include soft drink additives, hair gel, and cod liver oil. Today’s pharmaceutical industry includes millions of lifesaving drugs, and Bell Chem can supply its customers with additives and chemicals to formulate the purest pharmaceuticals with the most precise doses possible.
Bell Chem’s inventory of chemicals and additives for the pharmaceutical industry is extensive.
