Medicine

A medicinal product (praeparatum medicinale, praeparatum pharmaceuticum) is a drug intended for the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of diseases. Medicines can come in various forms, such as tablets, capsules, syrups, ointments, injections, etc.

The main components of drugs are active substances that have a therapeutic effect. To achieve the desired effect, active substances can be supplemented with auxiliary components such as fillers, binders, antioxidants and others.

The process of creating a medicinal product begins with researching the active substance and its properties, as well as determining the optimal release form and dosage. After this, clinical trials are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the drug. Upon successful completion of the trials, the drug is registered and can be released onto the market.

Drugs are widely used in medicine to treat a variety of diseases, from colds to cancer. They may have varying levels of health risks and require compliance with the instructions for use. In addition, medications may cause side effects and interact with other medications, so you should consult your doctor before taking them.

In conclusion, the drug is an important tool for the treatment and prevention of diseases. It should be used with caution and in accordance with the instructions for use, as well as under the supervision of a physician.



Medicines are drugs that are used to treat and prevent various diseases; they are obtained from plant and mineral raw materials, as well as from the human and animal body. The easiest way to create a drug is to make an extract of it and then make another extract. The extract can be obtained from any organism and from plants by extraction. And this is the most common manufacturing method. Most often, extracts are obtained from substances in plants, the blood of healthy people and sick people. Pharmacists can make their prescriptions into drugs from both the chemical and its natural counterpart. To use a particular component to create a medicine, you need to understand its chemical structure. The pharmacist must also know how the components interact with the patient’s tissues. Also, do not forget about such a concept as bioavailability. This term refers to how quickly and efficiently a substance is absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body. Ultimately, the pharmacist makes some combination of active and excipients according to a doctor's prescription so that the substance has a therapeutic effect. And after the regimen prepared by the doctor is included in the prescription, the pharmacist tells the patient about the rules for taking the medicine. Thus, we can say that the basis of the pharmaceutical industry is the application of recipes and scientific knowledge to produce drugs.
