Answer:
the drug is a Compound.
Explanation:
All the drugs ever formed are compounds. An element in itself can't cure a disease, but couple with other elements, most probably also with carbon, it can attain attributes that may help in fighting diseases. Organic drugs are also manufactured by scientists by using animals and plant parts and replicating them. Compounds also make up non-living things. Salt (NaCl) is a classical example of this.
