Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is when people make medicine. Just like when we make sandwiches or cookies in the kitchen, but much more complicated! A lot of different parts go into making medicine.

First, scientists come up with a recipe or formula for the medicine. They figure out what kind of ingredients are needed, how much of each ingredient, and how to mix them together.

Then, the ingredients are carefully measured out and mixed together. Some ingredients might be liquids, while others might be powders or crystals. They all have to be mixed together very carefully to make sure that the medicine works the right way.

After everything is mixed together, the medicine is put into special containers. These containers are then sealed up and labeled with important information like the name of the medicine, what it's used for, and how much you should take.

Finally, the medicine is sent out to stores and hospitals so that people can buy it and use it to make them feel better if they are sick.

It's a very important job to make sure that the medicine is made correctly and safely, because people's health depends on it!
