Question

A new drug, taken twice daily for one month, is an effective treatment for a certain disease. The drug now most commonly prescribed for the disease occasionally has serious side effects such as seizures; the new drug has side effects much more frequently, but the worst of them is mild nausea. Therefore, the new drug is preferable as a treatment.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The old drug caused seizures, which are worst than the mild nausea that might cause the new drug because seizures cause brain damage every time they appear.

The brain damage caused by seizures is irreversible and there is no preventing measures to use, just wait for them to pass. On the other side, mild mausea can be controled with several medication.
