Explain how companies work together to provide medication in healthcare


Content note Medicines, medication or drugs? You use the word medicine for uncomplicated conditions like a headache, or when you have a cold or flu. Example: ‘I took some cough medicine when I had a sore throat.’ You use the word medication when a doctor prescribes you medication for a more complicated illness or disease. Example: ‘My dad has to take medication because he has Parkinson’s disease.’ Some people use the abbreviated, informal, word meds to refer to both.


Drugs is a word used in American (AmE) and Australian English to refer to medicine and medication. In AmE, a drugstore is a pharmacy. GPs and specialists often ask patients about any medication they take. The question ‘What drugs do you take?’ is technically correct, but can of course mean a whole different thing if you are dealing with a case of substance addiction or abuse.
