True or false.

Question

All drugs are medicines, but not all medicines are drugs.

Answer 1

True.

All drugs (substances that have a physiological effect on the body) can be categorized as medicines, as they are used to prevent, treat, or manage diseases, conditions, or symptoms. However, not all medicines are classified as drugs, as certain substances like vitamins, supplements, and natural remedies may be considered medicines but do not necessarily have a drug-like physiological effect.
