"Medication" means any chemical compound, remedy or noninfectious biological substance, the action of which is not solely mechanical, which may be administered to clients by any route as an aid in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease or other abnormal condition, for relief of pain or suffering, or to control or improve any physiological or pathological condition. Products which contain medications but which are primarily used for cosmetic or other nonmedication purposes are not medications.
