Abstract

The Future of Medicine: Revolutionizing Pharmaceuticals

Author(s): Fengzhen Alex

Pharmaceuticals, also known as drugs or medicines, are substances used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases and medical conditions in humans and animals. These products are developed through extensive research, testing, and regulatory approval processes before they can be marketed and used in clinical settings. These medications are available only with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. They are typically used for treating more serious or complex medical conditions and require careful monitoring and supervision. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs: These medications are available without a prescription and can be purchased directly from pharmacies or retail stores. They are commonly used for treating mild and self-limiting conditions such as headaches, colds, and allergies.
