Today, federal regulations prohibit the use of drugs that would be:
A) detrimental to consumers
B) too expensive for some patients
C) not strong enough for the prescribed condition
D) too strong for the prescribed condition
A) detrimental to consumers
Federal regulations prohibit the use of drugs that would be detrimental to consumers. The effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of a drug does help physicians to pinpoint the most correct drug to use in treating a condition but is not something that causes the drug to be prohibited from use. The cost of a drug is based on its formulation, strength, depth of research and development, fair market value, and many other concerns, but the federal government does not prohibit the use of a drug just because of its cost.
