Synthetic medicine refers to a type of drug that is created in a laboratory using chemical synthesis. These drugs are designed to mimic natural substances found in plants, animals or humans and have similar therapeutic effects as their naturally occurring counterparts. Synthetic medicines can be used for treating various medical conditions such as pain relief, fever reduction, treatment of bacterial infections, and regulation of blood sugar levels among others. Some examples of synthetic medicines include antibiotics like penicillin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief, and insulin used to treat diabetes. These medications are often more potent, consistent in quality, and less expensive than their natural counterparts.
