does the word 治療藥 exist ?
Hello.

Does the word 治療藥 exist ?
I know Korean language uses this word literally to make up the word 치료약 which is a "remedy". But I don't know if this is just a reference word or if this is an actually word used by Chinese people.

I would appreciate if you could answer my question, it would help me a lot.
Many thanks.

Answer

yes,it does exist in Chinese, the word is used by medicine seller or doctor and patient

Answer

It is used in the following contexts:

1. 這是治療藥, 不是預防藥.
    This is a curative medicine rather than a preventive medicine.

2. 這是糖尿病治療藥.
    This is a diabetes curing medicine.

Answer

Salut and yes it does exist.

治療 Zhì liáo means “to cure"
藥 yào means "medicine"

When combined together it means "curing medicine". However in my opinion it doesn't sound so natural when it is used in conversation, I would rather use "藥方” (which is closer to the meaning of remedy) or just simply "藥" (medicine), there are various ways to express an object in Chinese. Cheers!

Answer
