اسم formal C1 property
1

ability to produce the desired result

The power of something, like a plan, drug, or method, to produce the result you want.

نمط الاستخدام: the efficacy of [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners often confuse "efficacy" with "efficiency". "Efficacy" is about whether something works and produces the intended result at all, while "efficiency" is about how well it uses time, money, or energy to get that result. For example, a drug can have high efficacy (it cures the illness) but low efficiency (it is very expensive to produce). Learners also sometimes try to use "efficacy" as an adjective (e.g., *an efficacy drug*), but the correct adjective is "effective".
المرادفات
effectiveness (Very close in meaning and slightly more general; used in both everyday and formal contexts, while "efficacy" is more formal and often used in scientific or official writing.) | potency (Emphasizes strength or power, especially of drugs or chemicals, and may not always include the idea of achieving a specific goal as clearly as "efficacy".)
الأضداد
ineffectiveness (Direct opposite; describes a lack of ability to produce the desired result.) | failure (Broader term for not achieving a goal; stronger and less technical than "ineffectiveness" or "inefficacy".)

اسم technical C2 property
2

maximum possible effect of a drug

In medical and drug studies, the strongest effect that a drug or treatment can give, even if you increase the dose more.

نمط الاستخدام: the efficacy of [a drug/treatment] at [a dose]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may not realize that, in technical pharmacology, "efficacy" can mean something more specific than just general effectiveness: it refers to the maximum possible effect, which is different from "potency" (how much drug is needed for an effect). In non‑specialist contexts, this distinction is often not made clear, which can cause confusion.
المرادفات
maximum therapeutic effect (A technical phrase that explains the idea more fully but is longer and less convenient than "efficacy" in specialist writing.)
الأضداد
lack of therapeutic effect (Describes the situation where a drug or treatment does not produce the intended medical effect, the practical opposite of pharmacological efficacy.)
