Medication/Drugs is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a temporary physiological (and often psychological) change in the body.
In pharmacology, a drug is a chemical substance of known structure, other than a nutrient of an essential dietary ingredient, which, when administered to a living organism, produces a biological effect. A pharmaceutical drug also called a medication or medicine, is a chemical substance used to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose a disease or to promote well-being. Traditionally drugs were obtained through extraction from medicinal plants, but more recently also by organic synthesis. Pharmaceutical drugs may be used for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.
This list contains the names of many medical problems and the names of drugs that may be used for their treatment. The drugs are listed either as a generic name or drug class name. Specific brands are not shown. You may use this tool to find brand-name versions of generics. This list is intended only as a guide and is not meant to be 100% complete. Use it for general reference.
The inclusion of a drug does not mean it is necessarily an appropriate treatment for you. Also, the doctor may prescribe a treatment that is not listed, but according to your medical history is quite appropriate for your medical condition.
