like cosmetic ones for example? (IE propecia for baldness, or accutane for acne) Or is only one planet in charge of the rulership of pharmaceuticals and medicine?

Some sources give "cleanliness" to Venus due to priestly rites associated with the observance of religious rituals. The old saying "cleanliness is next to godliness" applies. I imagine that antibiotics which clean the blood of microbes might fit symbolically as well.
Valens also gives the signification of "nurse" to Venus.

wow, antibiotics too? I guess that kind of makes sense, out of all the planets I would assume that medicine would be represented by venus or mercury (via virgo, or is that a modern invention? hehe)

I'd associate antibiotics with Mars really, as they kill and battle bacteria and inflammations.. Seems more like a malefic's job to me.
