Really depends on the medicine. If the medicine breaks down by acids in the stomach, it will much slower acting in soil and not present much of an issue. That's not to say the moisture wouldn't dissolve the pills, it is just the molecules would take time to break down.
If the medicine is a syrup, the alcohol might be a problem, but if it is broken down into smaller molecules, no. Now the smaller molecules might be somewhat toxic, depends on the molecule..........
If there's much sugar in the syrup, the soil microorganisms to get a sugar jolt and that in turn might be reflected in the plant, but only minor.

Plants are affected by everything -heat, water, air quality, temperature, etc. Plants are designed to live in a particular environment. Anything which differs from that environment will effect them negatively. If a plant grows up in an environment where medicine is its usual meal, then medicine will affect them in a positive way. If for some reason, medicine is not part of their usual environment it will affect them negatively.

I am sure they are. I do know for 100% sure that plants are affected by magnets. If you put the south polarity of a magnet under a plant it will grow much better and will help get a seedling started much faster.

Actually I have heard that they are. Because many medicines are plant derived they react to each other.
