- There is a pharmacological proverb that **“Each medicine can be a drug but each drug is not a medicine”**

- Normally it is interpreted by the word **drug** that this is something used for illegal or unsilenced purposes but it’s not actually true.

- While talking in the language of pharmacology, a [drug](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/drug/7460) is that substance that produces a biological effect when administered to the body.

- It is a chemical substance that is utilized to cure, prevent, or understand a disease condition.

- The drug acts as an active ingredient in the manufacturing of [medicine](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/pharmaceuticals/17444). right quantity, right dose, right person, and right time make a drug an effective medicine.

- Drugs can have some positive or negative effects but medicine is essentially used for positive purposes.
