뜻
To consume drugs or remedies for health purposes.
문화적 배경
Pharmacists in Spain have a high degree of authority and can often suggest 'medicinas' for minor ailments without a doctor's visit. It is common to use 'remedios' interchangeably with 'medicinas', often referring to herbal teas or traditional treatments. The term 'remedio' is very common in daily speech, even for pharmaceutical drugs.
Use 'Medicamentos' for Doctors
If you want to sound more educated or professional in a hospital, use 'medicamentos' instead of 'medicinas'.
Avoid 'Beber'
Never say 'beber medicina'. It is a dead giveaway that you are translating literally from another language.
