Pharmaceuticals are substances used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of diseases and medical conditions. They encompass a wide range of products that can include prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, biological therapies, and vaccines. The primary purpose of pharmaceuticals is to modify physiological functions in the body to alleviate symptoms, cure illnesses, or improve overall health. They can be derived from natural sources or synthesized through chemical processes. Pharmaceuticals are regulated by governmental agencies to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality before they can be marketed to the public. They play a critical role in modern medicine and healthcare, contributing to the management of various health conditions and enhancing the quality of life for patients.
