While biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies both produce medicine,biotechnology companies' drugs have a biological basis, while those of pharmaceutical companies have a chemical basis. Biotechnology companiesuse live organisms or their products, such as bacteria or enzymes, to manufacture their medicines.
A biopharmaceutical, also known as a biologic(al) medical product, biological, or biologic, is any pharmaceutical drug product manufactured in, extracted from, or semisynthesized from biological sources.
The primary difference between biopharmaceuticals and traditionalpharmaceuticals is the method by which the drugs are produced: The former are manufactured in living organisms such as bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells, whereas the latter are manufactured through a series of chemical synthesis.
