What is defined as products intended to affect the structure and/or function of the body?

Cosmetics
Drugs
Supplements
Lotions

The correct answer is: Drugs

The correct answer is drugs because they are specifically defined as products that are designed to affect the structure and/or function of the body. This includes a wide range of substances that can be used for diagnosing, curing, mitigating, treating, or preventing diseases and may also impact bodily functions and structures. Cosmetics, on the other hand, are products intended for beautifying or improving appearance but do not directly affect the body's structure or function in a medicinal sense. While supplements do have health implications, they are typically classified as supporting overall health rather than directly impacting body structures and functions in the same regulatory sense as drugs. Lotions, while they may have therapeutic properties, are often categorized under cosmetics unless they have specific medicinal claims associated with them. Thus, the distinction lies in the intended use and regulatory classification, which firmly establishes drugs as those intended to influence body structure or function.
