Drugs and Medicine Videos

Drugs and medicines are pharmacological chemical compound that, when taken by a human being, is used to treat, cure, prevent or diagnose a disease as well as to promote well-being. This dispensing of medication is often broken down into three categories: over-the-counter medication which is available in pharmacies and supermarkets with no restrictions (paracetamol or antihistamines for example.) behind-the-counter medicines which are dispensed by a pharmacist without needing a doctors prescription (these usually include a stronger painkiller) and prescription only medication that can only be prescribed by a physician or a doctor.
