How can you find out which medication has been tested on animals and where it's be tested?
Or is all medication tested on animals initially?
Answers:    Most all of the medications currently on the bazaar were initially tested on animals, in the first stages of their development. There are lots of ongoing studies to find methods that will not require animal conducting tests, using stem cells and various human/animal cells, though. Animal conducting tests is awful, but unfortunately it is the best way we currently have to determine things resembling dosage and toxicity levels, as well as the methods which the drug is eliminated from the body. That information have to be gained before you can proceed to human trials. The knowledge is critical to enjoy, since that will also be the best way to determine dosages in children, who obviously can't be piece of the human testing process. You can find out what sort of animal trials were used by the company, by checking the FDA site and reading up the abstract submitted to the FDA for any drug that is self sold or in final human trials for approval. Otherwise it's nearly impossible to find out, because the drug companies are necessarily very quiet going on for drugs in the development process. It takes 10-15 years of work to develop a unknown drug, and the majority of those actually never make it to human trials. The cost involved is tremendous, and the companies are very domineering of one another- so the information is tightly guarded. However, for drugs on the market or in final trials, the FDA will have the information you are looking for. Source(s): nurse

Unlicensed Massage, what's ok, what's not?

The mom above, is mostly correct.

All medication get tested in animals. You -have- to have that sort of basic information when you apply to do a clinical trial contained by humans. You might find some legacy medications that have be around for decades or centuries, like aspirin and morphine that weren't initially tested on animals, though they probably have been since after.

As it goes at the moment, there's nothing even close to a substitute for it, nor is there anything promising in the next few decades.

Generally this information isn't readily available. Some of what's published publically can be found indexed on PubMed, and even then, it's not entirely accessible unless you readily comprehend things like partition coefficients and plasma binding or enzyme kinetics.

All new drugs are first tested on animals to find out if it's risk-free. If a new potential drug kills a rat, then probability are it's also going to kill a man. Most drug companies probably make sure that the animals do not suffer when they die or make sure that the number of animals that die are no more than what is mandatory.
