ANSWER: Drug from biological sources
Explanation:
- A biopharmaceutical, also known as a biologic(al) medical product, is any pharmaceutical drug product manufactured in, extracted from, or semi synthesized from biological sources.
- Different from chemically synthesized pharmaceuticals, they include vaccines, blood, or blood components, allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapies, tissues, recombinant therapeutic protein, and living cells used in cell therapy.
- Biologics can be composed of sugars, proteins, or nucleic acids or complex combinations of these substances, or may be living cells or tissues.
- They are isolated from natural sources—human, animal, or microorganism.
