Can you please tell me how medicine and drugs differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Medicine is anything that can make you better. Hippocrates said 'let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food'. Drugs are prescription or over the counter things that are synthesized or extracted. Drugs can be medicine, and medicine can be drugs, but medicine can also include other things such as food.
