What are most medicines made from?

Answer 1

This actually vary a lot.

Some medicine are made fully synthetically via the use of various chemicals.

Other medicine like Penicillin are made from various extracts of Fungus/Mold.

We have various other medicine that are extracts of other plants.

Medicine can also be "extracted" from various bacterias.

Most medicine as such (The active components) can be fully synthesized. This process is most often a lot cheaper than extracting and distilling from plants.

Even animals can provide a source of medicine in one way or another.

A bit far out this last bit, but valid in a weird sense:

Food cures hunger and water cures thirst.

Many diseases start off as a lack of nutrition's, minerals and vitamins becomes obvious.

To eat the right food actually cure most of these diseases.

So..

Medicine can be an Orange if you lack Vitamin C or it can be a Banana if you lack Vitamin K. Depends on wich kind of medicin, most of it is antibiotics (penicillin).

Answer 2

== == Drugs come in three basic forms - raw plant, refined plant or synthetic. Those sold in their raw form, such as dried or fresh cannabis leaves, or refined plant form, such as cocaine, tend to be produced in and around their respective growing regions, unless they can be viably grown elsewhere under artificial conditions. Hence, despite a lot of UK and European cannabis being grown and exported from areas like Morocco, Lebanon and Pakistan, increasing amounts are being grown domestically, using sophisticated growing methods such as hydroponic growing kits, producing potent and more resilient strains such as super-skunk. Cocaine, which is extracted and refined from the coca plant, is largely exported from South America where it is grown, cooked and turned into powder

Answer 3

It depends on the drug in question. Some drugs are derived from plants. Marijuana is prepared from the Cannabis plant. Cocaine is synthesized from the coca plant. On the other hand, some drugs are produced artificially. Methamphetamine, for example, is an artificial drug that is engineered chemically.
