their anions are larger sizes having the low charge density and not easily surrounded by water molecules therefore they again accept the positive H ion and form undissociated molecules....

What is meant by acidic organic compounds and example for acidic organic drugs manufactured by pharnmaceuticals?

To answer the first part of your question, an organoacid is typically a Lewis Acid. This means that the compound is capable of accepting a pair of electrons from a coordinate covalent bond (ie an "electrophile"). There are however organic compounds which can also be classified as the more traditional Bronsted-Lowry acid. These include benzoic acid and acetic acid. Typically in organic reactions, the "acid" and "base" of the reaction is determined by directionality of electron exchange as well as the pKa of the compounds in solution. To answer the second part of your question, two examples of acidic organic drugs would be acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).
