In the world of medicine, drug classification holds immense importance as it helps determine the most suitable drugs for patients based on their unique characteristics and medical history. The dataset containing various features plays a vital role in assessing which drugs are best suited for individuals. This process is known as multi-class drug classification, where drugs are categorized into different classes based on their specific uses and therapeutic effects. Traditionally, drug classification has been carried out through manual or rule-based approaches, where physicians and medical experts rely on their knowledge and experience to prescribe drugs based on patient attributes. However, this method can be time-consuming and may not be efficient when dealing with a large number of drugs and patients. That's where machine learning comes in to revolutionize the process.
