ABSTRACT
Animal Experiments (AE) are fundamental in the training of almost all pharmacology-related post-graduate courses.1 However, research studies have questioned their human applicability, toxicological utility, and validity. Other limitations like their exorbitant costs, difficulty in procurement of animals, strict regulations, and reservations about animal ethics by animal rights organizations and students have also been observed.2 Moreover, newer opportunities and requirements in the pharmaceutical industry and clinical research organizations3 and recent trends in areas like pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacovigilance, rational pharmacotherapeutics1 have thrown AE out of focus.
