2. to eliminate foreign organisms (or antigens) attacking the body – for instance antibiotics
3. to fix any abnormal physiology occuring in the body – for example, anti-diabetics, anti-hypertensives and etc
4. to relieve unpleasant stimuli (changes of the internal or external environment) to the body – analgesics
5. to relieve or supress unpleasant symptoms occuring during illness – cough mixtures, cold medicines and etc
