Answer:

Drug misuse is when a medication is used inappropriately and not according to medical advice (wrong dosage, frequency, etc).  Drug abuse refers to use of illegal drugs.  

Explanation:

Drug misuse can be related to legal or illegal drugs.  Although by definition, drug abuse refers to illegal drugs, one could argue that drug misuse could also be considered abuse.
