问题 American officials have announced rules to help prevent people from getting sick from the medicines they take.
The rules require the medicines Americans use most to have information that is easy to read and understand. The officials say the new system will help people make more informed decisions about the drugs they use.
More and more people use medicines known as over-the counter drugs to treat common health problems. Americans buy 5’, 000,000,000 such products each year.
About 100,000 over-the-counter drugs can be purchased in the United States without orders from a doctor. Many people decide on their own which drug to take, how to take it, and if it should be given to their children. Over-the-counter drugs are generally very safe. However, using them the wrong way can be dangerous. Officials say hospitals in the United States treat 170,000 people each year because the drugs make them sick.
Studies estimate that half of these hospital visits could be prevented if Americans were better educated about the products.
The Food and Drug Administration proposed the new rules two years ago. FDA officials say they worked with the drug industry and public interest groups to develop the requirements. The agency also received almost 2,000 public comments about the proposals.
The new information should make it easier for people to identify active chemicals used in a medicine. This information will be listed at the top of the product container. The label also will list uses of the drug, warnings, and directions. Chemicals in the drug which are not active also will be listed. The reason for this is to let Americans select products that will not make them sick.
选项 A、that treat common health problems
B、that have warnings at the top of their containers
C、that have a list of directions
D、that can be bought in a shop without doctor’s orders
答案D
解析 见第四段第一句。
