Why is it called a 'biologic' and not a pill?
I don't know why it is called "biologic", but it comes as an injectable and not in pill form...

It's considered a biologic because a cell line grows a target protein a million times over. The cells are killed and the protein goes thru a purification process to become a drug substance. Process can take multiple months to get no more than a kilo of "medicine"
A Pill is a couple chemicals thrown at each other and then popped into a bottle.
