nonmedicated

Free of medicine

Nonmedicated describes products that contain no medicinal or therapeutic drugs.

The term appears most often on packaging for items that come in both treatment and non-treatment versions: nonmedicated shampoo, nonmedicated lip balm, nonmedicated cough drops.

The distinction matters when you want the product's basic function without active pharmaceutical ingredients.
