pharmaceutically
In medication terms
Pharmaceutically describes something done in relation to pharmacy or medicinal drugs—their preparation, dispensing, or effects.
A compound may be pharmaceutically active, meaning it produces effects in the body.
A product that is pharmaceutically equivalent to another contains the same active ingredients in the same amounts.
