Pharmaceuticals are drugs used to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent disease. In this category we also include contraceptives and vaccines. Pharmacotherapy is an important part of the medical field and relies on the science of pharmacology for continual advancement and on pharmacy for appropriate management.
Drugs are classified in various ways. One of the key divisions is by level of control, which distinguishes prescription drugs from over-the-counter drugs. Another key distinction is between traditional small-molecule drugs, usually derived from chemical synthesis, and biopharmaceuticals. Other ways to classify medicines are by mode of action, route of administration, biological system affected, or therapeutic effects.
An elaborate and widely used classification system is the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC system). The World Health Organization keeps a list of essential medicines.
World Health Organization definition: A pharmaceutical is any substance or pharmaceutical product for human or veterinary use that is intended to modify or explore physiological systems or pathological states for the benefit of the recipient.
