Medications may be made from many things: most medications initially were derived from plants or plant products. Aspirin and digitalis are excellent examples. The pain medication morphine is another example. Penicillin was discovered when a mold contaminated a bacterial culture. Many medications are now made in the laboratory by modification of medications already available to add new properties or change the characteristics (length of action or bioavailability).
