prescription medicine has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 1 of its 1 sense. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is over-the-counter medicine.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a drug that is available only with written instructions from a doctor or dentist to a pharmacist
“he told the doctor that he had been taking his prescription regularly”
