A drug or a biological product is designated as an ‘Orphan drug’ when authorized to prevent, diagnose or treat a rare disease or condition which are often serious or life-threatening. The indication of a drug is considered as an orphan when a substance is usually used in the treatment of a frequent disease but not intentionally developed to treat the rarer indication.
