Medicinal therapy refers to any treatment that involves using medication or drugs to cure, alleviate or prevent a disease or condition. This type of therapy can be used in various medical conditions such as cancer, heart diseases, mental health disorders and other chronic illnesses. The goal is to improve the patient's quality of life by reducing symptoms, slowing down the progression of the disease or eliminating it altogether. Medicinal therapies are prescribed by doctors after a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, current condition and potential side effects of the medication.
