A substance administered to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease, relieve pain, or improve physiological function.

A drug that can be purchased without a prescription.

When a veterinarian prescribes a drug for a use not specifically listed on its label.

The process of combining or altering drugs to create a customized medication for a specific patient.

The timeframe specified for administering a medication as indicated on a prescription label.

The concentration of a drug in the body that produces a desired effect with minimal toxicity.

A higher initial dose of a drug given to quickly reach therapeutic range.

When a drug's effective dose is close to its lethal dose, indicating a small safety buffer.
