Wrong part of speech entirely. This is an ADVERB, not an ADJECTIVE. Furthermore, nobody translating in this field would use 'pharmacologic'.

I agree - although it can be an adjective in this case it definitely means "pharmacologically inactive"

Yes, the same word is often used in German both as an adjective and as an adverb, depending on context. Here it is an adverb, the clue being that it is followed by the adjective it is modifying ;-)
