pharmaceuticals; medicaments
(It is unnecessary to refer to "issues of" or "questions of", because this is just a heading.)
"medicaments" is broader than "pharmaceuticals". The latter refers to commercial ethical drugs, not unregistered nutritional supplements etc.

Alternative (after Discussion entry by Asker micawber_7): Pharmaceutical-Related Issues.
Alternative 2: Pharmaceutical-related issues (interactions, side effects, etc.).

Jeanette Waldvogel
: I don't understand why you have to omit 'issues' or 'questions' in the heading? I think, given the reference from Liz that 'Pharmaceutical issues' or 'pharmaceutical questions/queries' would be entirely appropriate

"issues" och "questions" är dåliga journalistisk stil, särskilt i en lärd tidskrift.

Prescription Drug Matters
Or "Prescription Drug Issues of the Day"
Could be "Drug Matters" - but that would strike many as being an odd heading for a column; however it attention and originality was sought, it could work.

It depends how colloquial one might like to be, for the name of the column and in the column itself, but I don't think that "Drug questions" sounds right.

Note from asker:
| Could "Drug questions" do the job? The article is usually intended as an answer to a drug-related question. |
