Antiseptics were invented to prevent infections by killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on living tissues. This advancement in medical science has helped to reduce the risk of infections during surgeries and wound care, ultimately saving lives.
Pills are made out of antibiotics, used to fight infections.

Antiseptics are typically used to clean and disinfect skin, wounds, and other surfaces to help prevent infections.
I think Antiseptics maybe. Before there was antiseptics there was no sanitation. Also penicillin which was discovered accidentally which saved millions of lives from infections. I'm sure there are millions of useful inventions but those seemed to me to be the more important.
