wonder drugs
Cures once called miraculous
Wonder drugs are medications considered remarkably effective against previously difficult or untreatable conditions.
The term emerged with antibiotics like penicillin and sulfa drugs, which seemed miraculous against bacterial infections.
It now applies to any pharmaceutical breakthrough: Ozempic has been hailed as a wonder drug for weight loss.
The phrase carries both genuine enthusiasm and marketing hype.
