Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibiotics and interferon are not known to produce dependence or withdrawal symptoms. Addictive drugs, on the other hand, are specifically designed to produce a dependence in users and can lead to intense cravings upon withdrawal, making them difficult to quit. Therapeutic drugs may have side effects or risks of dependence, but this is not their primary purpose or characteristic.
