Answers
A medication is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. Drug therapy is an important part of the medical field and relies on the science of pharmacology for continual advancement and on pharmacy for appropriate management. Drugs are classified in multiple ways.
Answer:
The purpose of a medicine is to prevent, alleviate or cure a symptom, ailment or disease state. In other words, the purpose of a medicine is benign; it’s a product produced and regulated to impart a positive medical effect on a patient.
A drug, in contrast to a medicine, can have a positive or negative effect on a patient.
For example, heroin is a drug, in that it’s a substance that causes a specific biological effect. Heroin is not, though, categorised as a substance that “prevents, alleviates or cures a symptom, ailment or disease state”. In that sense, heroin is a not a medicine.
Both drugs and medicines can be poisons, though. This depends on the dose of the drug and/or medicine.
