I know how I define the word required, probably same as your definition.

Life saving and life improving? What about health improving drugs? What about illness / disease curative drugs? I've personally never heard of a doctor prescribing Paracetamol but don't doubt it goes on, after all in a country decimated by Tory austerity there are plenty people who genuinely can't afford to pay the 50p or so it costs in ASDA.
