      There are different stages of developing medicine, firstly you must think about the chemical effect of the medicine. So this is concerned with the effect of the Active ingredient on the body i.e. to get rid of certain illnesses or to reduce undesired symptoms.
      Secondly you need to think about the physical properties. How is the medicine going to dissolve? What sort of delivery is required for the medication, what dosage amount and time are required before the next administration?
