Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: preparation
I need help with the folowing issue. Can the term "preparation" possibly refer to medicines that are administered as they come (=prepared already) - or only to those that need to be prepared in accordance with a formula (=requiring preparation by the user or a pharmacist, e.g. in a way that involves mixing ingredients)?

In other words, is it synonymous with "drug" or not exactly?
