What Is a Drug?

Sign Up Now! Last night. I maxim a commercial representing an over-the-counter sleep aid. It promised to help me fall asleep quickly and to stay asleep waking refreshed the attached day.

It touted a breakthrough system of dual release -- the quick-release portion championing rapid relief and then the time-released component for a full night"s sleep. We"ve all seen these commercials, bagatelle surprising here.

What did fabricate me "tsk" was the last comment, "Now you can rest through the night without drugs." Huh? Whether this isn"t a drug, then what is? This is misleading to say the least and a bit dangerous.

It is, unfortunately, frequent for mankind to disconcert various appellation -- drug, medication medicine, prescription, over the counter, herbal remedy, dietary supplement -- rational that some words inherently mean a matter is safe.

These misconceptions are knowingly played up by marketing campaigns so I thought it would be helpful to define these words. What is a drug? A factor of The New York Period Company.
