They are highly social animals who communicate with each other using high-frequency sounds that are inaudible to the human ear. Rats have strong social bonds with one another and easily bond with human guardians when not exploited in laboratories. Experiments on one species frequently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animals-used-for-experimentation\/us-government-animal-testing-programs\/reproducibility-relevance\/\">fail to predict results<\/a>\u00a0in another. Even the National Institutes of Health, the world\u2019s largest funder of biomedical research,\u00a0acknowledges\u00a0that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/headlines.peta.org\/research-modernization-new-deal\/).\">95% of all drugs that are shown to be safe and effective in animal tests fail in human trials.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most experiments on animals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are not relevant to human health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not contribute meaningfully to medical advances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are undertaken simply out of curiosity and do not even pretend to hold promise for curing illnesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the most important advances in health are attributable to <strong>human-only studies<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The development of anesthesia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bacteriology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Germ theory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The stethoscope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Morphine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Penicillin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Artificial respiration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antiseptics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CAT, MRI, and PET scans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The discovery of the relationships between cholesterol and heart disease and between smoking and cancer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The development of X-rays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The isolation of the virus that causes AIDS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The evidence is clear: Other animals are poor models for researching diseases that affect humans. So now that we all know that animal experimentation is as cruel as it is ineffective, is it okay to take medicine that was once tested on animals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prescription Medications and Animal Tests<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the products, services, and medical advances that we can\u2019t imagine living without represent exploitation of humans and our fellow animals. We can\u2019t change the past: Those who have already suffered and died are lost. But just because humans and other animals were abused in the course of developing drugs in the past doesn\u2019t mean that there wasn\u2019t a better way then or that there isn\u2019t one now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refusing to take medications that were tested on animals in the past won\u2019t bring those animals back to life. If you need prescription medications to stay alive or treat an illness, take them (but always consult with your physician). Prioritizing your health will enable you to help more animals than if you don\u2019t take medications that help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boycotting medications is ineffective since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires drug manufacturers to test on animals\u2014even though those tests do not guarantee that drugs will be safe for humans. Change for the better is happening, though! In 2025, the FDA announced the agency would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/news\/fda-antibodies-non-animal-testing\/\">move to replace tests on animals<\/a> in the development of monoclonal antibody therapies and other drugs with more effective, human-relevant methods. This policy change could save thousands of animals each year from dying inside laboratories in tests irrelevant to human health, inspiring a new era of ethical and effective science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-media-credits=\"[{&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 iStock.com\\\/PhotoTalk&quot;,&quot;credit_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;}]\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-block-image--has-credit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421-602x401.jpg\" alt=\"two white rabbits sitting on green grass\" class=\"wp-image-733609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421-602x401.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/iStock_000013392369_Small__1425328425_144.223.39.421.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way to help animals used in medical experiments is to loudly champion the availability of superior, animal-free technologies<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Human-cell and tissue-based tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sophisticated computer simulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safe \u201cmicrodosing\u201d studies with human volunteers\u2014all of which are faster, more reliable, and more humane than experiments on animals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do What You Can: Easy Ways You Can Help Animals Used for Experiments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose Cruelty-Free Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By choosing personal care or household items on PETA\u2019s Ultimate Cruelty-Free list, you show clear support for companies using compassionate, animal-free testing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/crueltyfree.peta.org\/?en_txn7=blog::prescription%20medicine\">Browse the Cruelty-Free List<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tell the FDA to Stop Pushing for Tests on Animals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PETA scientists applaud the FDA\u2019s significant step towards phasing out testing requirements on animals and will continue to push for policies that are best for\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0living beings.
