If you’ve ever wondered what a "compound" really means when you’re looking at medicines, you’re not alone. In everyday talk a compound is just the chemical mix that makes up a drug or supplement. Knowing a bit about it can help you pick safer products and avoid costly mistakes.
A compound is any substance made from two or more ingredients that are chemically bonded. In medicine, each pill, cream or inhaler contains at least one active compound that does the work (like killing bacteria) and often several inactive ones that help the drug dissolve or stay stable.
Why care? Because the same name can hide very different compounds in different countries.

It's amazing to think that such a small, sensitive liquid can have such a massive impact on our daily lives. I can't help but appreciate the role of nitroglycerin in shaping the modern mining industry as we know it today.
