Preventive medicine refers to the medicine that aims to prevent the disease before its appearance. These medicines are prescribed or advised by the physicians to keep their patients healthy.
Curative medicine refers to the medicines that aim to cure a certain disease. These medicines are prescribed by the physician on the basis of the health of their patients.
Preventive medicine is considered as more important medicine as it prevents diseases and keeps the person healthy. It is beneficial in the way that it keeps away a number of diseases and saves a lot of money and time. A healthy person lives life to the fullest. In contrast, curative medicines are often costly than preventive medicines. Further, they could have associated side effects and usually take time to restore health. Thus, preventive medicines are a lot of economical and healthier option than curative medicines.
Curative medicines are more common in the United States. The reason being the lack of awareness and lack of healthy habits like good sleeping and eating habits have contributed a lot to this situation. A low urge to invest in preventive medicines by the people might be another cause of this situation as psychologically people ignore medicines unless they suffer some disease or illness.
Socioeconomic status does play a role in this scenario as people having low economic status does not invest in preventive care because of their lack of awareness and work pressure on the working members of the families. Further, medical facilities are not reachable to all people in need. For the betterment of this situation provision like Medicaid have been started that are improving the situation.
