A "sugar pill" is a placebo which means it contains no drugs.
- Placebos have been used in drug studies so people don't know what they are or are not taking.
- Placebos have been used in pill regimes where the patient goes off the drug for a period of time, but doesn't interrupt the routine - as with some Birth Control medications.
- Placebos have also been used (at least in the past) by doctors to give hypochondriac patients who insisted upon some medication when none was indicated.
