ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America

Pharmaceutical research is when scientists work really hard to create medicine that can make people feel better when they are sick. The Manufacturers of America are people who make the medicine and sell it to the stores, so that people can buy it and feel better.

Think of it like cooking. Scientists are like expert chefs who carefully choose ingredients and mix them together to make the perfect medicine meal. Manufacturers are like the waiters who bring the medicine to people’s tables so they can enjoy it and feel better.

Both scientists and manufacturers have to follow strict rules to make sure the medicine is safe for people to use, just like how chefs have to follow recipes to make sure their food tastes good and won't make people sick.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America are a group that represents all the people who make medicine, and they work together to make sure that the medicine is made safely and can help as many people as possible.

So, when you get sick and need medicine, it's all thanks to the hard work of the scientists and manufacturers who work together to create and sell it to help you feel better.
