In pharmacology, a drug is "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being."[4] Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders. Medication is any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
