synonyms:   medical science, practice of medicine, healing, therapeutics, therapy, treatment, healing art
"the remarkable achievements of modern medicine"
2.
a drug or other preparation for the treatment or prevention of disease.
"give her some medicine"
synonyms:   medication, medicament, remedy, cure, nostrum, patent medicine, quack remedy, panacea, cure-all, placebo, drug, prescription, dose, treatment;"
