Is it true that most of the medicines on the market are made from petroleum or its derivatives

yes

avoid all drugs, medicine or not, only use as last resort

l dont know about that, but many vaccinines have stuff like mercury in them. l wouldnt be suprised.

yeah. and all plastic is made from petroleum stuff too.
oil does not just power cars. it is the key ingredient in modernity. which is why we need to stop using most of it on cars and save it for important stuff like plastic and medicine.

No, that is soap and laundry detergent. l think that you are confused if you are using soap as medicine.

No. Many medicines are derivatives of natural products or animals. For example, there is a heart medication that comes from rabbits.

Some, yes. But ''most''? l do not think so.

It also depends on what u mean by ''made from''. The *coating* found on many pills is made from a petroleum byproduct, even though the actual medicine contained in the pill is not. So would u count that pill as being ''made from petroleum''? If so, then yes, l suppose the word ''most'' is accurate.

Here is a report that tells about petrochemicals used in the manufacture of medicine:
