Pharmaceutical product and Biopharmaceutical product are made for one common purpose that is to treat any disease or disorder. Only the basic difference between both the faculties is their mode of preparation of medicine! In early 19th century, drugs are mostly the dried form of fresh organic or inorganic substances obtained from plant or from animals. All such medicines were from biological origin only. So if we observed there is not a big difference between both pharmaceutical and biopharmaceuticals products. Pharmaceutical product which is prepared by using the Biotechnology techniques can be called as Biopharmaceutical.

As research continues in studying the diseases and disorders, we found different ways of treating the same. Mankind now a days are using medicines which have more accurate therapeutically action with no or very less side effect on body. For this purpose new drug development continued and today Biotechnology are delivering biological origin drugs like antibiotics, antibodies, proteins, enzymes which has very high selectivity and effective therapeutically effect with no side effect ! The only concern is that these are more costly as compare to pharmaceutical know drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs are cost-effective no doubt; at the same they are easily available across the globe. But these pharmaceutical drugs have side effects which should be consider and at the same time purity of the drugs also plays an important role in this field as compared to biopharmaceutical. Now with the development in modern technology both Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical are developing the drugs with combine applications. Such drugs are of low cost, high purity and low or no side effects. So today with modernization of technology, it can be said that there is no significant difference in pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical product!
