Which of the following is not a character of ideal drug?

Options

• Should not disturb physiological process

Answer 1

Is not localised to affected site

Explanation:

The ideal medicine is one that is specific to the affected area. Effectiveness, safety, and selectivity are the most crucial characteristics of an ideal medicine. It must be non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable, with no negative side effects. The medicine should not build up in any of the body's tissues or cells, producing inflammation.
