tedavidir

Tedavidir is a Turkish adjective meaning “therapeutic” or “relating to treatment.” It is used to describe substances, procedures, or policies whose primary aim is to cure, relieve, or prevent disease. In medical, pharmaceutical, and health-policy language, tedavidir denotes a focus on treatment rather than diagnosis, prevention, or palliation, and it is typically found in formal or technical contexts.

The word is formed from the noun tedavi (treatment) plus the suffix -dir, which creates adjectives or predicates in Turkish. As a result, tedavidir can function as a predicate adjective, as in Bu yöntem tedavidir, meaning “This method is therapeutic,” or it can appear in more formal descriptions of a treatment-related concept.

In modern Turkish, more common expressions to convey the same idea include tedavi amaçlı, tedaviye yönelik, or the loanword terapötik. Tedavidir tends to appear in technical writing, academic discourse, or traditional medical literature, and may be less common in everyday speech where simpler phrases are preferred.
