Answer:

A. Prescription drugs need authorization from a doctor, while over-the-counter drugs do not.

Explanation:

Over-the-counter drugs are those that can be sold without a prescription. That is, these drugs can be purchased by anyone without the need for medical authorization. These medications include painkillers, vitamins, antacids, laxatives and nasal decongestants. These medications treat mild symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, thrush, sore throat, diaper rash, hemorrhoids, nasal congestion and heartburn.

On the other hand, prescription drugs can only be purchased with medical authorization. These medications treat more serious symptoms and illnesses. Its use must be extremely regulated and monitored by the doctor and for this reason authorization is required. Among these medications are antibiotics and antidepressants.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of free radicals (highly unstable molecules that are naturally formed when you exercise and when your body converts food into energy) and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants. Antioxidants such as thiols or ascorbic acid prevent free radicals forming due to oxidation. Some ways our bodies can be exposed to oxidative stress are by having an unbalanced diet, smoking, or sun exposure. Some ways to prevent oxidative stress are having a healthy diet, not smoking, exercising regularly and wearing sunscreen.
