Each medicine has its own way of working and therfore medicine works in many ways to help with illness.

Examples:

Antibiotics: Through several diffrent mechanisms, antibiotics kill bacteria allowing someone to come back to health

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories: Drugs treat pain and inflamation by preventing the body from making Prostaglandins. These chemicals trigger an immune reponse and send paing signals to the brian.

Statins: Treat Cholesterol by blocking an enzyme known ad HMG-COA reductase. This enzyme normally makes the building blocks of cholesterol. Without these building blocks one makse less cholesterol, and through a series of more complex mechanisms your body actually breaks down bad cholesterol (LDL).

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotension Recpetor Blockers: These drugs stop the effects or angiotension on the body. The best way to think about it is that angiotensin makes your blood vessels squeeze and making you blood pressure go up so ACE-I and ARB drug stop this from happening.

One can see the vast ways that drugs can work in the body.
