Mesorat%20hashas for Berakhot 75:13

וצריכא דרב (ושמואל) דאי מהאי ה"א לאכילה קא מכוין ורפואה ממילא קא הויא אבל הכא כיון דלכתחלה לרפואה קא מכוין לא לבריך עלויה כלל קמ"ל כיון דאית ליה הנאה מיניה בעי ברוכי:

It was necessary to have the statements of Rab and Samuel. For from that [quotation from the Mishnah] I might have said that [only when the Shattit] is intended as a food and becomes a remedy of itself [is a benediction required] ; but here, since it was from the outset intended as a remedy, no benediction is at all required. Therefore [from Rab and Samuel's statement] we are informed that since one derives enjoyment therefrom, it is necessary to say a benediction.
