What is the primary purpose of segregating investigational drugs?

To enhance inventory management
To prevent contamination with commercial products
To reduce costs of storage
To limit access to these drugs

The correct answer is: To prevent contamination with commercial products

The primary purpose of segregating investigational drugs is to prevent contamination with commercial products. Investigational drugs, which are still undergoing clinical trials, must be carefully handled and stored separately from approved medications to maintain their integrity and ensure patient safety. Contamination can risk the validity of clinical trial results and potentially compromise patient health if these drugs are mistakenly mixed with standard treatments. By keeping investigational drugs distinctly separated, pharmacies and clinical trial sites can better adhere to regulations and guidelines set forth by agencies like the FDA. This segregation also promotes strict adherence to protocols, ensuring that the investigational use of these drugs remains controlled and monitored, which is critical for the success of clinical research.
