Solution

The correct option is B False
Most drugs sold over the counter are quite ineffective to the general population because of the action of the genes of patients that interfere with the action of the drugs. For example, one person might be able to metabolize the active ingredient in a particular medicine quite easily whereas some might not be able to do so. Therefore, a standard dosage of over the counter drugs might not be the best and effective solution in combating disease.
