Global Stats

The new drug Prozac and the old one Elavil are about equally effective in treating various forms of depression, although patients on the newer drug may have slightly fewer side effects. Thus, revenue from the sale of the new drug is going to far exceed the revenue from the sale of the old drug.

All of the following statements weaken the conclusion of the argument above, EXCEPT:

(A) Elavil is also used as a powerful anti-emetic medicine.

(B) The Drug Control Authorities in six states have refused to allow the sale of Prozac till some more tests are carried out.

(C) Some side effects of Elavil are common to Prozac as well.

(D) Prozac is not recommended as an anti-depressant for diabetics and heart patients.

(E) The unit sale price of Elavil is higher than that of Prozac.

Option A - CORRECT.
This option is almost appropriate among other options stated below. Elavil is also a strong medication used in treating various forms of depression except that its side effect is stronger than the newer drug and has reduced the rate at which it is recommended.

Option B - INCORRECT.
This statement is not proven in the researchers study stated, so therefor it is wrong.

Option C - CORRECT.
This statement is right because, according to the researcher they both have similar side effect only that Prozac as the newer one has slightly fewer side effect compared to the Elavil.

Option D - INCORRECT.
This statement may be part of the study conducted by the researcher but was not stated in the question which makes it invalid.

Option E - INCORRECT.
This option is incorrect because, it is stated in the study that the unit sale of Prozac is higher than that of Elavil.
