Answer
A
They must be authorized by a healthcare provider.
B
Each one has the same effects on different people.
C
They can be purchased over-the-counter.
D
They can be safely shared with family members.
E
They must be purchased from a pharmacy.
Explanation
Prescription drugs require authorization from a healthcare provider and are obtained through a pharmacy. They do not have identical effects on everyone, and a prescription medicine is not an over-the-counter drug. They also should not be shared with family members, because the medicine and dose may not be safe for someone else.
