Pharmaceutical medicine is what doctors prescribe to help people feel better when they're sick. It comes in different forms like pills, liquids, or injections. These medicines are made by experts called pharmacists and scientists who carefully study how they work. They're designed to treat specific health problems, like infections, pain, or allergies. Remember to always follow the instructions on the label and talk to your doctor if you have any questions.
