Answer:

A. Forgetting what time you took your last dose and estimating when to take another.

Explanation:

Drug abuse refers to the situation where individuals use a drug (prescribed or otherwise) in larger quantities than necessary, or at extremely short time intervals, in order to elicit different sensations from those to which the drug has been designated. Examples of drug abuse are:

  • Using a drug to cause a “high,” rather than to treat a condition.  
  • Taking twice the recommended dosage because your symptoms seem very bad.
  • Taking cold medicine to fall asleep because you know it helps you sleep when you take it for colds.

However, forgetting at what time you took your last dose and estimating when to take another dose of a drug is not an example of drug abuse as you are trying to avoid overuse of the drug.
