1) The medication for the therapy was drug C or a combination of drug A and drug B.
2) 'The medication for the therapy was drug A plus drug B or drug C alone.
Is the usage "plus" correct here?
It seems no one cares about this question.

Either that or you posted it while everyone in the my part of the world was fast asleep.
"A combination of" reads better to me.

Yes; I join in your opinion. That sounds better to me also.

you could use 'plus' if you wanted to, but 1. is easier to understand.
Plus is the way the + symbol of arithmetic is pronounced. Using "plus" to mean "in addition to" is rather informal, and when used to link two concepts or things can carry the implication that the the first thing mentioned is the principal or most significant, and the second thing is a supplement, addition or afterthought. For example "Socialism plus electrification equals communism".
