Medicine is a substance or preparation used to prevent, treat, or cure illnesses and health conditions in humans and animals. It works by targeting the cause of disease, relieving symptoms, or improving overall health. Medicines come in many forms such as tablets, capsules, syrups, injections, and ointments—each designed for specific purposes and age groups. They can be prescribed by doctors or purchased over-the-counter for common conditions like fever, cold, or pain relief.
