You are all pretty much right, "Seems like medicine to me". So its all same meaning, everyone is a winner here

"İlaç gibi gelmek" is something like a slang.

I mean; it may have this meaning:

"This made me better"

For example, you are very thirsty, and then you drink a glass of water. Now you say:

"İlaç gibi geldi!"

By the way, maybe the meaning isnt that here. We should know more about the conditionals.
