It is what it says, curative cures a condition that is present eg antibiotics for infection, chemotherapy for cancer, anti- inflammatories for inflammation , etc
Preventative prevents a condition happening, eg vaccination to prevent flu/ mumps/ measles, aspirin to HELP prevent stroke, health advice eg stop smoking to prevent lung disease etc
you are talking about medicine so that refers to conditions that ca be treated or prevented by drugs ? mediacal advice rather than surgery
Curative cures - so antibiotics are a curative.
Preventative prevents - so a vaccine is a preventative.
Curative medicine treats a disease once you have it - preventative medicine stops you getting it.
Example of curative is treating an infection with antibiotics. Example of preventative is a vaccination.
Curative medicine is when you treat an existing condition. Preventative medicine is when you take steps to keep yourself from getting a disease or condition. Vaccinations are considered preventative medicine since they keep you from getting an illness. Using antibiotics for an infection is curative medicine because you are trying to cure your existing infection.
